This online course helps you learn how to manage risks in engineering work, and understand how to develop these skills to obtain the Risk Management micro-credential.
You'll explore better practice in risk management, and master the techniques required to manage risk for projects and operational processes, and in the workplace.
You'll learn how to:
- critique risk tools to decide on the best one for your situation
- reduce risk by applying practical risk mitigation strategies
- improve risk processes and frameworks in the workplace
- communicate more effectively with stakeholders about risk
We'll refer to these standards in the course, which you'll ideally have access to in your workplace:
- ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management - Guidelines
- IEC 31010 Risk Management - Risk assessment techniques
After completing this course, you'll be able to apply the best risk management tools and techniques to influence risk outcomes. And you’ll understand the skills you need to develop to prepare for your Risk Management micro-credential submission.
- Identify the risk processes and frameworks used in engineering.
- Identify the sources of risk, threats and opportunities that could influence outcomes.
- Use risk management tools to establish the risk context, identify risks, analyse risks and select and implement treatments.
- Establish systems and processes to manage changes during the lifecycle of a product, project or process operation.
