Post-graduate CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) program in risk management
To navigate uncertainty, complexity and change, risk professionals must have a broad knowledge in the many areas of risk management. In that light,starting Fall 2010, the Swiss Banking Institute (ISB) offers a post-graduate CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) program in risk management following the highest quality standards set out by the Professional Risk Managers' International Association (PRMIA).
The aim of the program is twofold: providing the most advanced education in Risk Management on PRMIA standards, and to prepare its graduates to get the Professional Risk Manager (PRM) designation.
The PRM is not only a leading certification for risk managers but also a benchmark against which the best risk professionals measure their skills.
The CAS curriculum covers basic material for the first three of four exams needed to pass for getting the PRM designation. Successful candidates get the CAS.
The course will be taught by leading industry and academic professionals from both the University of Zurich and the ETH Zurich. Lectures will take place on Friday afternoon (14.00 - 18.00) and Saturday all day (9.00 - 18.00).
The CAS program aims at risk professionals, or those who interface with risk management disciplines on a very regular basis, who want to improve and expand their knowledge in risk management. Candidates are being tested in all areas of risk management for the required broad knowledge and understanding that risk managers must bring to the job.
The deadline for applying to the program is August 27. More information:
