ISO 31000 Awareness Training
Basic Principles, Framework, and Processes of Risk Management
Risk is everywhere, from operational disruption and economic shocks to reputational exposure and environmental and safety impacts. ISO 31000 gives organisations a clear, practical way to manage uncertainty with confidence.
This Risk Management Awareness Training introduces the ISO 31000:2018 guidelines and shows how they can be adapted to your organisation’s context, applied to any type of risk, and embedded into everyday decision-making at every level. You will learn how risk management supports resilience, strengthens governance, improves performance, and helps organisations recognise both opportunities and potential negative consequences so resources are allocated more effectively.
Who Should Attend
This course is suitable for anyone who influences decisions, processes, or performance and needs a shared understanding of risk management using ISO 31000, including (but not limited to):
- Managers and team leaders who plan work, allocate resources, or are accountable for results
- Process owners and operational staff involved in day-to-day risk, continuity, or improvement activities
- Quality, Health and Safety, Environmental and Sustainability professionals
- Compliance, legal, governance and internal control roles
- Project and programme managers
- Business continuity, resilience and crisis management teams
- Procurement, supplier management and supply chain roles

It is also useful for organisations starting formal risk management or aiming to align current practices with ISO 31000. No prior risk management experience is required.
