Training
In past 15 years, Riskcore has teamed up with PMI, AACE, local universities and other training organizations to provide project cost and risk management training courses through public offerings, corporate training programs and classroom settings at various educational institutions and venues. The training so far has benefited over 1,000 individuals for their career advancement and job satisfaction.
​
​A training session is typically offered publicly for registration 3-month in advance of their start. The sessions are offered either on-line or physically in a classroom.
Corporate training is offered by requests.
​
Individuals who are keen on learning about project risk management may contact Riskcore for free reading materials, personal coaching, mentoring and career advice.

Risk Management Training Course Outline
Risk, Risk Analysis and Contingency - Risk Qualification Process
“RISK” has become a buzz word but it is the least understood concept in Project Management and the construction industry as a whole.
​
Monte Carlo Simulation - Risk Quantification Process
Simulation is used to quantify project risks and derive contingency for a project but it is often dubbed as a “black box” even to project controls.
Project Risk Fund - Risk Contingency
Contingency has long been causing controversial discussions in project controls. The depletion and management of contingency are true mysterious.
Cost and Schedule Risk Analysis Simulation Technique
Monte Carlo Simulation for Project Schedule and Cost Estimate Risk Analysis
Project Schedule & Cost Estimate Risk Analysis Process, Technique / Tools
Systemic & Specific Risks for Contingency and Residual Risks for Reserve
