For students majoring in risk and insurance, understanding how to manage risk is one of the most important skills you can develop. You may be wondering how to take what you are learning in class and apply it to real-world decisions. You might also be looking for ways to earn a professional credential before graduation.
The CRM Principles of Risk Management course is designed to help you do both. The material you study in your university courses — from defining risk to evaluating exposures — directly connects with the learning objectives of this program. It is one of the best ways to strengthen your foundation, deepen your understanding, and start your path toward the Certified Risk Manager designation.
What You Will Learn in CRM Principles of Risk Management
The CRM Principles of Risk Management course helps you master the five steps of the risk management process: identify, analyze, control, finance, and administer. These steps are the framework used by risk professionals across every industry.
You will learn how to
- Define risk and key risk management terms, explain the five steps of the risk management process, and understand how an effective program reduces an organization’s total cost of risk.
- Recognize how a risk management program supports organizational goals, strengthens company culture, and shapes an organization’s risk appetite and tolerance.
- Use analytic identification methods to uncover risks through data, trends, and operational analysis.
- Evaluate financial statements to identify exposures, understand valuations, and assess an organization’s financial condition as part of the risk management process.
- Compare enterprise risk management (ERM) with traditional risk management and explain how ERM enhances decision-making and organizational performance.
If your coursework includes enterprise risk management, exposure analysis, or organizational strategy, this program connects those ideas into a complete process you can apply immediately.
