Project management has at its core the meeting of unique goals and objectives, usually to bring about beneficial change or added value. Effective project management requires distinct skills that include, amongst others, the ability to manage risks. Through this field of management, risks are identified, assessed and prioritised to either minimise or eliminate them.

Risks can come from uncertainty in financial markets, project failures, legal liabilities, credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disasters as well as deliberate attacks from an adversary.

CE at UP offers basic and advanced certificate courses in project and risk management to empower managers to make informed decisions in this area. Over and above general project management skills, training is also offered for niche target markets in risk management on various levels.
