Here's what past participants had to say:
“I loved the course and I am eager to apply what I've learned. I really, really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone. I love quoting solid research in my reports - and you have done a lot of that!”
“The course focused on systemising social risk management and making it an essential component of scoping for major projects. Backed by years of leading research, the approach shows that when proponents invest in social risk, it builds their reputation and social licence to operate and contributes to the likelihood of a successful project outcome. I'm looking forward to applying my learnings when I get home!”
“It was a very interesting training even for experienced practitioners.”
