The course is designed for experienced practitioners, engineers, specialists and supervisors in Strategy, Governance & Risk. It runs as a 5-day core programme or a 10-day extended programme, in classroom sessions across the Gulf, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia, as live online training, or in-house at your organisation.
