Course Description

"Good pace and solid information", Bobby

"Very nice course for beginner introduction to risk analysis. A good point to start", Angelos 


Besides risk management, risk assessment is demanded in many field, like product development, process control, project management, business plans and so on. Even a process as simple as delivering a meal in a business activity, is subject by law to a particular risk assessment.

However, the theoretical basis is almost the same for every field, even though there are many risk assessment tools available for this objective.

In this course, we will cover both the common basis and the specific tools. More in details, with respect to the general aspects of risk assessment, we will see:

  • risk analysis,
  • risk estimation both qualitative, semi-quantitative and numerical
  • risk evaluation and control measures

Then we will see the most used techniques:

  • Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA)
  • Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
  • Fault Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
  • Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP)
  • Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)

Once learned the above concepts, we will see the complete risk assessment cycle, and which techniques to use during specific phases of a development process.

Both the general part and the particular techniques lessons are fitted with examples and downloadable excel worksheets.

At the end of the course, you will be able to master both the basic concepts and specific techniques, and you will be able to apply and adapt this knowledge to your field of interest.

HAPPY LEARNING!!!

This was a better-than-average course. The slides were engaging, and instructor Marco Catanossi was very knowledgeable about the topic of risk analysis. Each term was well defined and explained transparently. While the downloadable Excel workbooks helped with some of the key concepts, having the option of downloading visual aids in a format like PDF also would have been helpful to understand them in pictures. Great course otherwise, and an excellent introduction to the topic of risk analysis.

By Jerry Chen on 5/12/2026

The course is delivered in a concise manner, and covers various key practical topics that are very useful in risk assessment. Time well spent.

By Jordane Delahaye on 6/6/2025

This was a well laid out course, easy to follow with just the right amount of detail and guidance. The course may be short and simple but I think the skill you learn will be useful your entire life, even in your personal life. I also appreciated being able to sharpen my ear on the Italian accent. 2-for-1 learning!

By Ahmed Aref AlKooheji on 3/29/2023

Great course for understanding the very basics of risk analysis for anyone who does not have a background in the field. Only comment I would have would be to include more practical examples to solve as the course focuses mainly on the theory than it does the practicality. Although, one would have the understanding to practice on their own due to the teacher's clear and concise way of teaching, more practice "within the course" would, in my opinion, help build up the confidence to apply these fundamentals in the real world.

good introduction to tools and terms

By Przemysaw Puchalski on 11/15/2020

Nice explained, good start for risk officers.

Thanks you for giving us these tools

Good fundamentals

By Vinod Samantrai on 11/15/2020

it is good to get the risk knowledge in one go.

By Brandy Henderson on 11/8/2020

Unable to understand the narrator clearly. Other than that, very informative.

By Kristina Mandic on 11/8/2020

Overall, it was good! I appreciated the material that you can download and the fact and the fact that there were some very basic examples.
However, considering that this was a course for beginners (meaning people who lack this knowledge and expertise) there were to many "boring" and serious definitions. It was sometimes hard to follow. Can you simplify the definition even more?
For example, once you draw out how all those concepts/terms form the general picture it was much easier to understand. Also, perhaps it would be good to have an even more concrete/short/simple outline of the key points you will discuss at the mere beginning of the course.

By Ankit Kaushik on 10/27/2020

Explanation is nice.
