The Certificate in Risk Governance^® is awarded to those who have completed The Board Members' Course on Risk^® - an intensive 17-course education program and evaluation. The curriculum is designed for current and aspiring board members who seek to advance the governance of risk-taking at their organizations and those who interact with boards. Taught by some of the world's leading figures in risk governance, the program features lessons by nearly 50 board members, C-level executives, and well-known authors from five continents. No course on risk for board members as robust as this - depth, practicality, and global expertise - exists anywhere else.

“This is a wonderful course providing for deep insights into risk thinking and taking to support course attendees in roles related to maintaining companies in their sustainable existence,” said van Brenkelen. “It is an unparalleled course on risk, due to an amazing width and depth of lecturers and contributors on the topic across its extensive number of modules, supplemented with many articles, books and audio files. I’m grateful to be able to learn from the leading names across the risk management spectrum, adding greatly to a 30-year career of providing risk reduction in trade, production and supply chains at third party service providers. I’m looking forward to using the lessons learnt in current and future independent board roles,” he continued.

The fundamental Duty of Care for directors around risk is to ensure that our organizations take risks well in pursuit of our goals and ambitions. This course furthers the fulfillment of that duty.
