M_o_R® | Practitioner Upgrade

the Management of Risk Guide (M_o_R®) guide is intended to help organisations put in place an effective framework for risk management, helping decision making based on risks that affect strategic, programme, project and operational objectives.

The Practitioner Examination Preparation event provides an opportunity to apply learning of the M_o_R® guide to scenario-based tasks. The scenarios used on this event are in the same format to those used in the PeopleCert Practitioner Exam. The Foundation Exam (45 minute, multiple choice) must be passed prior to attempting the Practitioner Exam. If you require the Foundation Exam, please contact SPOCE for the options available.

The focus of this event is to apply previous learning of the method to sample Practitioner style exam questions. An Approved Trainer will be on-hand to provide feedback and guidance on the work completed.
