About
The Postgraduate Diploma in Risk Management facilitates a streamlined approach needed by organisations to combat the broad negative effects of risks that are unforeseen while strengthening and deepening knowledge in an existing qualification. This will allow graduates to be able to anticipate problems, develop risk identification and control programs aimed at minimising risk resulting in a comprehensive and valid report through developing and analysing a model to implement quantitative risk management methodologies.
MANCOSA’s PGDip (Risk Management) programme seeks to address the dearth of qualifications in risk management in South Africa as this program seeks to facilitate and building upon existing knowledge for those already a professional; an entrepreneur; a manager or an employer with risk management needs; or a student.
