    Management of Risk course

    Has anyone done this course? I am looking to do a course that will help me apply for higher paying PM / PMO roles. So many people have prince2 so looking for something to stand out on my cv.

    Did this circa 10yrs ago. Never seen anywhere use it in earnest, although gives a good background. Any qualifications like that help, but don't expect to get work on the basis of it. MSP is another to fall in the same camp.

      No one here has done a course like that. I really don't think this will add any value to your CV tbh. Do it if you think it will make you a better PM and you struggle with risk by all means, a good approach to your work. To do it just for kudos on your CV? I wouldn't bother.

        Looks like a gross over-simplification based on next to no facts to me.

          If you are uncomfortable dealing with the concepts of risk and how risk is managed then do it for your own education, it will help you stay engaged when risk issues are discussed in projects, but I wouldn't count on it specifically getting you more work.
