Additionally, the course prepares you for the PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)® certification, providing you with internationally recognized credentials to distinguish yourself in the field.

Key topics covered include:

  • Unique features and project delivery approaches in construction
  • The spectrum of risks within the construction industry
  • Planning and identification of risks
  • Assessment and analysis of risks
  • Planning and implementing risk responses to both threats and opportunities
  • Tools and techniques for managing projects while addressing emergent risks

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to: 

  • Provide a structured methodology to plan for risk management including strategic risks
  • Prepare to become a Certified Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)® certification exam
