Risk Management: Self-paced eLearning, Live Online and Classroom Training Courses.
The EI has taken advantage of its long-standing experience and expertise to develop a comprehensive training portfolio to support organisations in the fields of Human Factors, Process Safety, Quantitative Risk Management and Asset Integrity.
Understanding, evaluating and taking action on risks is vital in high-hazard organisations. The potential severity of the risks involved, highlighted by several high-profile incidents, demonstrates the importance of risk management in mitigating the dangers of any potentially hazardous activity.
The majority of our Training Courses are once again being held face-to-face in the classroom, giving delegates the opportunity to network and learn from each other. In addition to classroom courses, we continue to offer self-paced eLearning courses that can be started at any time, and Live Online courses.
