Project and Programme Management Certification Overview

This enhanced five-day course provides a comprehensive and highly interactive introduction to the PRINCE2 Risk Management: Creating and Protecting Value (PRINCE2 Risk Management framework). The programme begins with a foundation-style introduction to the language of risk management before progressing into scenario-driven application of the methodology. Learners explore how to apply risk management across strategic, portfolio, programme, project, product, and operational contexts. The course integrates workshops, discussion-based activities, and practical exercises to build confidence in real-world application. PRINCE2 Risk Management aligns with ISO standards and supports informed decision making by improving the identification, assessment, and control of risks across all organisational levels.

Please note that this course was formerly called M_O_R 4 and although foundational-level content is covered, there is no foundation-level qualification/exam associated with this enhanced practitioner level course.
