From IT and finance to healthcare and government, risk management skills are universally applicable – so professionals from any industry are welcome to enroll and benefit from this course.
Prerequisites for the ISO 31000 Course
One of the advantages of the ISO 31000 Risk Management training is that there are no formal prerequisites to enroll. The course is designed to start with the fundamentals of risk management and gradually build up to advanced concepts, making it accessible to both beginners and experienced professionals. However, to get the most out of the training, we recommend that participants have:
Basic Understanding of Management Systems
Familiarity with general management system principles or other ISO standards (such as ISO/IEC 27001 for information security or ISO 22301 for business continuity) can be helpful. This context will make it easier to understand how risk management integrates with broader organizational processes.
Knowledge of Organizational Processes
An awareness of your own organization’s objectives, processes, and environment will help you relate to the risk concepts discussed. For example, knowing the basics of project management or operations in your field will give you a frame of reference for risk identification and analysis exercises.
Concept of Risk and Controls
While we cover risk definitions in the course, coming in with a basic idea of what risk means (e.g., understanding that risk is the “effect of uncertainty on objectives” and that it can be positive or negative) will provide a head start. Experience with or exposure to risk assessment or business impact analysis in any context is a plus .
These are recommended but not mandatory. If you are completely new to risk management, our instructors will ensure you get up to speed quickly. The course starts with introductory modules that cover foundational concepts, so you will be able to follow along even without prior risk management experience. Just bring your willingness to learn and think critically – we’ll take care of the rest!
Course Curriculum: Modules Covered in ISO 31000 Training
Our ISO 31000 Risk Management course curriculum is carefully structured to cover all the key components of the ISO 31000:2018 standard. It progresses from fundamental concepts to advanced application, ensuring a coherent learning journey. Below is an overview of the modules and topics covered:
Introduction to Risk Management and ISO 31000
Define risk and its relation to uncertainty in achieving objectives. Understand why risk management is vital in organizations today (discussing how effective risk management creates a proactive decision-making culture). Overview of the ISO 31000 standard: its scope, history, and how it has become a universally accepted risk management guideline. We also introduce related standards like ISO Guide 73 (risk terminology) and ISO/IEC 31010 (risk assessment techniques) to set the stage
Principles of Risk Management
Dive into the fundamental principles outlined by ISO 31000 that make risk management effective. Learn each principle (such as value creation and protection, integration into processes, stakeholder inclusion, dynamic improvement, etc.) and discuss practical examples of how they apply in organizational contexts. This module sets the mindset required for a risk-centric approach, emphasizing that risk management is not a standalone activity but part of everything an organization does.
Establishing the Risk Management Framework
Learn how to set up the overarching framework for managing risk in an organization as per ISO 31000. Topics include obtaining leadership mandate and commitment for risk management, defining a risk management policy and objectives, assigning roles and responsibilities (risk owners vs. risk managers), and integrating the framework into organizational structures. We cover the components needed: from securing resources and training, to communication and reporting mechanisms for risk information . By the end, you’ll know how to build the foundation that supports the risk process enterprise-wide.
Scope, Context, and Criteria
Before managing risk, you need to establish the context. This module teaches how to determine the scope of your risk management efforts (whether at project, departmental, or enterprise level), understand the internal and external context (business environment, stakeholders, regulatory factors), and set risk criteria (risk appetite, tolerance levels, and evaluation benchmarks). This step ensures that risk assessment is aligned with organizational objectives and values.
Risk Assessment Process
A core part of the training, covering the three sub-stages of risk assessment as defined in ISO 31000:
Risk Treatment
Once risks are evaluated, the next step is treating them. In this module, explore the various risk treatment options: avoiding the risk, mitigating (reducing likelihood or impact), transferring (e.g., insurance or outsourcing), or accepting the risk. Learn how to develop and implement risk treatment plans that specify the actions, resource requirements, and timelines for each chosen treatment. We also discuss the concept of residual risk (risk remaining after treatment) and how to decide if residual risk is acceptable or if further action is needed . This part of the course often uses case studies (e.g., treating cybersecurity risks or operational risks) to illustrate effective risk response strategies.
Communication and Consultation
Emphasizing the continuous activity that should occur at every stage: risk communication and stakeholder consultation. We cover how to develop a communication plan for risk management, ensuring that the right information reaches the right people (e.g., risk reports to management, alerts to operational staff) . Learn techniques to consult stakeholders in assessing risk (bringing in diverse perspectives improves risk identification and buy-in). Effective communication is presented as key to breaking down silos and building a shared understanding of risk across the organization.
Monitoring and Review
Risk management is not a one-time task. This module focuses on establishing processes to monitor risks and review the framework regularly. You will learn how to set up key risk indicators (KRIs) and performance metrics to track how risk levels change or how well risk treatments are working. We discuss conducting periodic risk reviews, audits, and getting feedback to ensure the risk management process remains effective and relevant over time. The principle of continual improvement is reinforced here – how to update the risk framework or processes based on review findings, lessons learned, and changing context.
Integrating Risk Management into Organizational Processes
ISO 31000 stresses that risk management should be part of business as usual, not an isolated activity. In this section, see how to integrate risk management into decision-making and strategic planning. We explore aligning risk processes with corporate governance, project management, change management, and other management systems. You’ll learn how a well-integrated risk management approach leads to better decisions and outcomes (for instance, how risk assessment can be built into project approval or how risk considerations can shape strategy). This consolidation helps in creating and protecting value, making risk management a driving force for success
Certification Exam Preparation & Next Steps
In the final module, we shift focus to help you prepare for the ISO 31000 Risk Manager certification exam and plan your career ahead. We review the key domains of the exam, tackle sample exam questions, and discuss test-taking strategies. Additionally, we provide guidance on the certification process (how to register for the exam and what to expect on exam day). We also outline the certification path beyond this course – such as pursuing the PECB Certified ISO 31000 Lead Risk Manager credential for advanced mastery, or how the knowledge gained can assist in other certifications like CRISC or PMI-RMP. Finally, we conclude with actionable advice on implementing what you’ve learned back in your organization, and how to continue growing as a risk management professional.

Frequently
Asked Questions
ISO 31000 is an international standard titled “Risk Management – Guidelines” that provides a set of principles, a framework, and a process for managing risk. In simpler terms, it’s a best-practice guide on how any organization, regardless of size or industry, should approach identifying, analyzing, and responding to risks. ISO 31000 is important because it is universally recognized and applicable to all types of risk – whether you’re managing financial risks, safety risks, cybersecurity risks, or any other category. By following ISO 31000, organizations can increase the likelihood of achieving objectives, improve the identification of both opportunities and threats, and establish a sound basis for decision-making. For professionals, being well-versed in ISO 31000 means you have a systematic methodology to tackle uncertainty and contribute to your organization’s resilience and success.
The ISO 31000 Risk Manager certification is a professional credential that validates your expertise in applying the ISO 31000 standard’s guidelines. This certification is typically awarded by accredited certification bodies – a prominent example is PECB (Professional Evaluation and Certification Board), which offers the “PECB Certified ISO 31000 Risk Manager” exam and credential. The certification process involves completing a training (like the one Wiseman CyberSec provides) and then passing a formal exam that tests your knowledge of risk management principles, framework, and process as per ISO 31000. By obtaining the ISO 31000 Risk Manager certification, you earn an acknowledgment that you possess the recommended risk management skillset and are a trained professional in the risk management field This credential is globally recognized, enhancing your professional credibility and employment prospects in the domain of risk and compliance.
ISO itself publishes standards but does not certify individuals. The certification of individuals (professionals) is done by third-party organizations (like PECB, GRC Academy, etc.) that create exams based on ISO’s standards. So, when you earn an ISO 31000 Risk Manager certification, you are typically being certified by one of these accredited bodies, not ISO directly. However, these certifications are widely recognized as they align with the ISO 31000 standard. Wiseman CyberSec’s course prepares you for such certification exams by covering the ISO 31000:2018 content comprehensively. We are often asked if this is akin to something like “ISO Certified Risk Manager” – effectively yes, it means you are certified on the ISO 31000 standard (just via an accredited exam process). Rest assured that the certification you pursue through our course will hold weight globally and demonstrate adherence to ISO’s risk management guidelines.
No – there are no strict prerequisites to enroll in Wiseman CyberSec’s ISO 31000 training or to take the associated certification exam. The course is open to all professionals interested in risk management. That said, having some background knowledge can be beneficial. We recommend familiarity with basic management system concepts or risk-related activities (for example, understanding what a risk register or a business impact analysis is) as it will help you grasp the material faster If you plan to take the PECB ISO 31000 Risk Manager exam, typically attending an accredited training like ours suffices as the requirement. You do not need years of experience in risk management to attempt the exam (though for advanced certifications like “Lead Risk Manager,” some experience might be required). In summary, don’t worry if you’re new to this field – we start from the basics and build up, and the certification path is designed to be accessible for motivated learners.
Our ISO 31000 training is delivered in a live online format, making it accessible to learners globally. You have a few options for how you take the course:
Live Online Public Batches: You can join a scheduled online class with other students. These are interactive sessions via our virtual classroom platform, led by our instructor in real time. You can see, hear, and chat with the instructor and fellow participants, just like in a physical classroom. All you need is a stable internet connection.
One-to-One Online Training: If you prefer, we offer one-on-one training online, where an instructor will schedule sessions directly with you. This is highly flexible and can be tailored to your pace.
Corporate Training (Online or On-site): For organizations, we can conduct a private online batch for your team, or even send trainers on-site (in-person) if that’s preferred and feasible.
All our formats ensure you get live instructor interaction – this is not a pre-recorded self-study course, although we do provide recordings of each live session for your review. If you miss a live session, you can watch the recording later, and our team can help address any questions you have from it. The live format means you can ask questions on the spot, participate in discussions, and fully engage with the material, which greatly enhances learning outcomes.

Yes, upon completing the training course, Wiseman CyberSec will issue you a Certificate of Completion for the ISO 31000 Risk Management training. This certificate acknowledges that you have undergone 40 hours of professional training on ISO 31000. It’s a testament to your learning effort and can be a valuable addition to your professional portfolio. However, note that this is separate from the certification exam credential. To become an ISO 31000 Certified Risk Manager, you will need to successfully pass the external certification exam as discussed. The training completion certificate from Wiseman is often a prerequisite to sit for that exam (and demonstrates you’ve been trained by an authorized provider). We will guide you through the exam registration process as well – and once you pass the exam, you will receive the official certification from the examining body (like PECB) which is the credential you can use in your title (e.g., John Doe – Certified ISO 31000 Risk Manager). In essence, you’ll end up with two certificates: one for completing the training and one for passing the certification exam.
Absolutely. In today’s environment, organizations are placing unprecedented emphasis on robust risk management, given the complex array of uncertainties (be it cyber threats, market volatility, or public health issues). The demand for risk management professionals is on the rise. By obtaining the ISO 31000 certification, you position yourself as a knowledgeable professional who can help businesses navigate these uncertainties systematically. This certification can open up or accelerate career opportunities in roles like Risk Manager, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) specialist, Operational Risk Officer, and many others. Employers often prefer or require such credentials when hiring for risk-related roles because it assures them you have a verified level of expertise. Moreover, the skills you learn aren’t limited to one industry – you can apply them in finance, IT, construction, healthcare, government, etc., making you a versatile asset. Beyond getting a job, the principles of ISO 31000 enable you to contribute to your organization’s success by safeguarding objectives and finding opportunities amidst risks, which is a highly rewarding aspect of the career. In summary, ISO 31000 certification is a valuable investment that can yield returns in the form of better job prospects, higher credibility, and the ability to make a meaningful impact in any professional setting that deals with uncertainty.
ISO 31000 Risk Manager, CRISC (Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control), and PMI-RMP (Risk Management Professional) are all respected credentials in the risk management domain, but they have different focuses:
ISO 31000 Risk Manager: Centers on the ISO 31000 standard, which is a broad framework for enterprise risk management across any industry. It’s not tied to a specific field; rather, it gives you a holistic approach to identifying and managing risk at all levels. It is principle-based and very flexible/applicable to various contextszengrc.com.
CRISC: Offered by ISACA, CRISC is tailored to IT and information systems risk management. It covers identifying, evaluating, and managing IT risk and how it relates to the overall enterprise risk, with a strong emphasis on implementing controls. If you are in IT risk or cybersecurity governance, CRISC is highly valued.
PMI-RMP: Offered by the Project Management Institute, PMI-RMP focuses on risk management in the context of projects. It’s great for project managers or those who manage project risks and want best practices largely in project environments (construction, engineering, etc.).
Our ISO 31000 course is more general (enterprise-wide risk focus) and can actually complement those other certifications. For example, ISO 31000 principles can be applied to IT risk management (supporting CRISC) or project risk management (supporting PMI-RMP). Many professionals choose to get multiple certifications for a well-rounded profile. If your career is not strictly IT or project-based, ISO 31000 is a good first choice because of its universality. In any case, our trainers can advise you on how ISO 31000 knowledge maps to other frameworks and help you prepare if you aim to pursue those certifications after this one.
