Management of Risk Foundation and Practitioner (M_o_R®) Version 3 (PRINCE2 Risk Management)
Course Overview
Course Overview
The accredited Management of Risk (M_o_R®) Foundation and Practitioner Version 3 course provides delegates with the knowledge and practical skills required to identify, assess and manage risk across projects, programmes, portfolios and operational activities.
M_o_R is now presented by PeopleCert as PRINCE2® Risk Management. The updated name brings M_o_R within the wider PRINCE2 portfolio while retaining the established principles, approach, processes, tools and techniques of the M_o_R Version 3 framework.
Effective risk management helps organisations make better-informed decisions, protect value and respond confidently to uncertainty. This course explains how a structured approach can be used to manage both threats and opportunities while supporting corporate governance and organisational objectives.
The Foundation element introduces the terminology, concepts and relationships within the four core elements of M_o_R: principles, approach, processes, and embedding and reviewing. The Practitioner element develops the ability to apply and tailor the framework within practical organisational scenarios.
Delegates will learn how to establish an effective risk management approach, identify and assess risks, plan appropriate responses and embed risk management into organisational culture and decision-making. The course prepares delegates for both the M_o_R Foundation and Practitioner Version 3 examinations while providing practical knowledge that can be applied within their own organisations.
