Why Study Risk Management?

One of the few things every organisation has in common is its exposure to innumerable risks at a variety of levels.  The field of risk management concerns the identification, analysis, categorisation, prioritisation and mitigation of internal and external threats.  In business, anything with the potential to compromise the performance, safety or integrity of an organisation or its workforce is considered a threat.  For risk management personnel, the challenge lies in creating a broad and dynamic strategy for risk identification and control across the entire organisation.  Risks vary significantly by way of severity, frequency and likelihood of occurring.  There are also some risks that fall entirely outside the control of the business.  In risk management, the objective is to safeguard the organisation and its interests from as many threats as possible, while ensuring it is prepared for any eventualities that cannot be ruled out.

Brentwood Open Learning College is proud to offer an extensive collection of exclusive risk management courses for home study.  This exclusive Level 5 Risk Management Diploma is one of our most advanced courses to date, taking a detailed look at risk management and mitigation over a series of 13 modules:

Module 1. Overview of Risk Management

The first module provides a broad overview of the field of risk management, outlining the functions, objectives and limitations of risk management for today’s business.  Candidates explore key roles and responsibilities within the field of risk management, some of the most important risk management tools, essential risk management activities and the business-wide benefits of an effective risk management strategy.

Module 2. Types of Risk

Course content then focuses on the various different types of risks - aka risk classifications.  The importance of ensuring all threats identified are classified is discussed, along with the extent to which some risks should be prioritised over others.  Types of risk touched upon in the module include legal risk, political risk, economic risk, operational risk, liquidity risk, market risk and more.

Module 3. What is Enterprise Risk Management?

In module three, candidates are presented with a broad overview of the functions and applications of ERM - aka enterprise risk management.  Essential activities and responsibilities in the field of ERM are examined, along with the extent to which every organisation needs to take risks on an ongoing basis to remain viable and achieve its performance objectives.

Module 4. Risk Analysis

The practical process of analysing threats and developing a risk management process is discussed in module four, in which candidates learn how to analyse existing risk management policies and procedures.  The risk assessment process is broken down into several primary stages and examined, along with the importance of continuously improving and expanding a risk management strategy.

Module 5. Risk Identification

Module five takes a more detailed look at the first and most important stage of the risk management process - risk identification.  Several common examples of external and internal risks are presented and examined, alongside the creation and use of risk registers, the consequences of overlooking threats and the importance of proactively and mindfully balancing risk with reward.

Module 6. Risk Evaluation & Management

Candidates are then guided through the process of evaluating, classifying and prioritising threats identified during the initial risk assessment.  The importance of effective categorisation and prioritisation of risks is discussed, along with the creation and implementation of control measures, how to effectively monitor threats on an ongoing basis and more.

Module 7. Financial Risk Management

Module 10. Legal & Political Risk Management

In module 10, course content focuses on a series of risks and threats over which the business itself has no specific control.  Political and legal risk management concerns the policies and legislation imposed by local and national government offices, which an organisation has no option but to comply with.  An introduction to contractual law and related risk management is also provided.

Module 11. Environmental Risk Management

Module 11 explores the extent to which the modern organisation is required to prioritise environmental preservation, both at a legal and ethical level.  Examples of common environmental risks are presented and discussed, along with the process of conducting an environmental risk assessment and the extensive benefits of running an eco-conscious organisation.
