The accredited Management of Risk (M_o_R®) Foundation Version 3 course provides delegates with a structured introduction to identifying, assessing and managing 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.

Delegates will explore the four core elements of the framework: principles, approach, processes, and embedding and reviewing. They will learn how these elements work together to create a consistent, practical and adaptable approach to risk management.

The course also introduces delegates to risk management documents, roles, responsibilities, tools and techniques. It prepares learners for the M_o_R Foundation Version 3 examination and provides knowledge that can be applied within their own organisations.
