The objective of this program is to provide an integrated introductory course of studies in risk management for non-graduates who have appropriate business experience. On completion of the certificate, successful candidates should have an understanding and appreciation of fundamental risk management techniques, practical and analytical skills in the approach to risk management and related areas and an understanding of the role and processes involved in risk management and its relationship with the overall management of an organisation.
Students should have access to a Pentium 2 computer (or at a minimum, a Pentium 166 with Windows 95 or later), as a portion of the learning is via interactive tutorial disks. Students undertaking business statistics will need to have access to an IBM-compatible computer and the spreadsheet package Excel (version 97 or above).
Students have the option of attending three weekend sessions per unit per semester.
The executive certificate is offered on a part-time basis only and is of one year's duration by off-campus learning. Students are expected to undertake two units per semester and pass the equivalent of four units to be eligible for the award of Executive Certificate in Risk Management.
This course satisfies (in the area of risk management) the educational requirements for the Australian Institute of Risk Management, and students can be admitted to membership as an associate fellow.
Completion of the Executive Certificate in Risk Management will allow direct entry into higher graduate degrees in the risk management discipline.
