Chartered Risk Analyst
This five-day programme prepares risk professionals to identify, measure, and manage risk, covering risk governance, assessment and registers, market and credit risk measurement, liquidity, operational and model risk, and risk quantification, stress testing, and reporting. Participants develop skills in risk modelling, expected loss calculation, stress scenario design, and board reporting.
Introduction
Chartered Risk Analyst Training Course prepares risk professionals to identify, measure, and manage the risks an organisation carries. Participants work through risk governance and appetite, risk assessment and registers, market, credit and liquidity risk, operational and conduct risk, risk modelling and quantification, stress testing, and risk reporting as one connected discipline. The programme links the risk an organisation takes with the limits, models, and reports that keep it within appetite. As a result, learners gain a rigorous, exam-ready command of risk analysis. Furthermore, the course strengthens quantitative judgement, model discipline, and risk reporting quality.

FAQs
— What is the "Chartered Risk Analyst" course about?
It prepares risk professionals to identify, measure, and manage the risks an organisation carries. The course spans risk management foundations and governance, risk assessment and risk registers, market and credit risk measurement, liquidity, operational and model risk, and quantification, stress testing and reporting.
— What are the key benefits of the "Chartered Risk Analyst" course?
You gain a rigorous, exam-ready command of risk analysis that links the risk an organisation takes with the limits, models, and reports that keep it within appetite. The course improves risk assessment and register discipline, strengthens VaR, expected loss and stress testing technique, sharpens operational and model risk practice, and gives you reporting that supports board decisions.
— What skills will I gain from the "Chartered Risk Analyst" course?
You will develop four core skills: risk assessment with register building and appetite setting, market and credit risk measurement including VaR and expected loss, liquidity, operational and model risk analysis, and risk quantification with stress testing and board reporting.
— What tools, methods, or standards are covered in the "Chartered Risk Analyst" course?
The course covers risk concepts of threat, opportunity and uncertainty, the risk management lifecycle, ISO 31000 and the COSO ERM framework, risk governance and roles and the three lines model, risk appetite, tolerance and escalation thresholds, risk culture, risk identification techniques and taxonomies, likelihood, impact and risk scoring, risk and control matrices and control effectiveness, risk registers and risk owners and mitigation planning, market risk across interest rate, currency and equity risk, Value at Risk (VaR) approaches and limitations, duration and PV01 and sensitivity analysis, credit risk measures of PD, LGD, EAD and expected loss, credit rating and scoring and portfolio concentration, counterparty credit risk and exposure measurement, liquidity risk cash flow gaps and coverage ratios, funding risk and maturity mismatch and contingency funding, operational risk frameworks and loss event data, control self-assessment and key risk indicators, conduct, compliance and reputational risk, model risk and validation and independent review, risk quantification and Monte Carlo simulation, scenario analysis and reverse stress testing, capital adequacy and risk-adjusted return and economic capital, risk appetite monitoring and KRI dashboards, board and risk committee reporting, and emerging risks and horizon scanning.
— How is the "Chartered Risk Analyst" course applied in real-world practice?
Participants apply it to real work such as building a risk register with owners and actions, calculating VaR and expected loss for a portfolio, measuring liquidity gaps and coverage ratios, running a stress test and interpreting the results, reviewing a model's validation, and presenting a risk appetite report to a risk committee. The same methods support KRI monitoring and horizon scanning.
