IQRM Programmes · United Kingdom & GCC

Become the risk manager
who can put a number on it.

You are asked how confident you are in the date. The honest answer is that the number came out of a workshop, not out of data.

Quantitative risk management training for project controls professionals across the UK and the GCC. QSRA, QCRA, Monte Carlo simulation and integrated cost and schedule risk, taught by practitioners on live capital programmes, so the forecast you present is one a board can defend.

Trained professionals across the UK, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. 30-day satisfaction guarantee on every course.

Start where you are

Three routes. One discipline.


Almost everyone arrives here from planning, cost or project controls, having been handed risk work with no route map. Find the sentence below that sounds like you.

01

“I am just exploring risk management.”

You want to see what quantitative risk analysis actually is, and whether it works, before you commit money or time to it.

Route: Foundations and toolkits. Start by auditing the register you already have, from £5.

See the foundations →
02

“I work in project controls. I want to be a risk manager.”

Planning, cost or scheduling is your day job. Risk is the move you want to make, and you need the process, the documents and the language to make it.

Route: QRM Specialist, £99, three live sessions from 7 September. Most people who are serious take the full journey at £549, because the title is one thing and quantifying is what keeps it.

See QRM Specialist →
03

“I am a risk manager. I need quantification.”

You run the register and the workshops already. What you cannot yet do is produce a completion date or a contingency figure that survives being challenged.

Route: QRM Professional Training, £595 hybrid. QSRA, QCRA, Monte Carlo, the Risk Data Engine, and the QRMCert. pathway.

See QRM Professional →

The objective

Every programme here exists for one reason.


A stronger career in risk management. Whether you are trying to get into the discipline or trying to go further in it, the destination is the same: being the person in the room who can answer the question with a number, and defend it.

If you are not a risk manager yet

  • Where you are

    Planning, cost or project controls. Risk work lands on your desk without a title, a method or a template, and you are improvising it around the day job.

  • After QRM Specialist

    You own the process. Register, Risk Management Plan, workshop, status report. You are doing the job rather than assisting someone else who does it.

  • Then

    QRM Professional takes you into quantification, which is the part most working risk managers still cannot do. That is where the separation happens.

If you already are one

  • Where you are

    You run the register and facilitate the workshops. When someone asks how confident you are in the date, the honest answer is that the number came out of a workshop, not out of data.

  • After QRM Professional

    You build QSRA and QCRA models, defend the inputs, name the drivers, and take a confidence level into a board meeting without flinching.

  • Then

    QRMCert. evidences it formally, which is what senior roles, client requirements and tender submissions increasingly ask for by name.

Most registers in this market are still qualitative. The people who can quantify are the ones who get asked into the decision.

What the work actually looks like

This is what you leave with.


Not slides about quantification. These are outputs from IQRM programme models, built on capital-project data. By the end you are producing these yourself, on your own project.

Level 01 · Foundations and toolkits

Prove the method on your own project.


Self-contained tools and short courses. No software procurement, no approval cycle, no risk. Each one produces something you can put in front of a project manager this week.

Start here

The Quantification Readiness Standard

Before you model anything, find out whether your register can be modelled at all. Five passes over your own risk log: what is actually a risk rather than an uncertainty or an issue, which lines cannot be quantified and why, how each one should be rewritten, a score out of 100, and the uncertainty categories you have missed entirely.

  • Runs on your own register, not a case study
  • Nothing stored or transmitted
  • Requires a free Claude account. Seven-day refund

  • Fortnightly group calls, two sessions a month
  • Bring your own model, register or reporting problem to the group
  • You learn from the other cases in the room, not only your own
  • Group format, not one to one. Private work is a consulting engagement

Choosing between the two

QRM Specialist or QRM Professional?


One teaches you to run the risk process. The other teaches you to produce the number. Most people need both, in that order.

If you are being handed risk work and have never written a Risk Management Plan or run a workshop, start with Specialist. If your problem is that nobody believes your dates or your contingency, you need Professional.

The tools you will actually use

Taught on the software the industry runs on.


IQRM training is delivered on Safran Risk, the tool used on major capital programmes across the UK and the GCC, not on a teaching toy. Every programme is built so you can complete it without raising a single procurement request.

Safran Risk

Integrated cost and schedule risk analysis. This is what QRM Professional Training is delivered on, and what the models you build in the programme are built in.

  • 30 days free access included with QRM Professional
  • No licence or procurement request needed to complete the course
  • Used on live capital programmes, not a training-only tool

In their own words

What graduates say afterwards.


“There is a gap in the market for people that can do QRA, particularly QSRA, and an even bigger gap for people that can teach it well. Rami can do that.”

Getting it approved

Most seats are funded by an employer.

If you need your organisation to pay, the blocker is rarely the price. It is having something you can forward to a line manager or procurement without writing the business case yourself.

We issue a formal quotation on IQRM letterhead with the programme scope, dates and deliverables, ready to submit for approval or reimbursement.

What the quotation includes

  • Programme scope and outcomes stated in terms a project director recognises
  • Dates, format and time commitment so line managers can plan cover
  • Deliverables retained after the programme: models, templates and reporting pack
  • Team pricing where more than one seat is required
  • Company invoicing details for procurement and purchase order raising

Beyond training

Some problems will not wait for a cohort.

If your programme needs a defensible contingency figure, a risk-based completion forecast or an audit of a register that is not yet fit for quantification, that is consulting work, not training.

  • Quantitative schedule risk analysis on live capital programmes
  • Quantitative cost risk analysis and contingency sizing
  • Risk Data Engine for defensible quantitative inputs
  • Risk register quantification audit against the IQRM standard

Before you enrol

Questions we are asked most.


Which programme should I start with?

If you are already doing risk work and need the quantitative method, start with QRM Professional Training. If risk has just been handed to you and the process itself is unfamiliar, start with QRM Specialist. It is three live sessions of two hours from 7 September, £99 until 29 August, and it ends with a register you can actually quantify. If you want to test the approach before committing, start with the Quantification Readiness Standard at £5 and run it over the register you already have. It tells you where the gap is before you spend anything else.

Do I need a statistics background?

No. The programmes are built for planners, cost engineers and project controls professionals. Your schedule and cost data are the raw material the whole discipline is built on, and that is the starting point we teach from. Statistical concepts are introduced only where they change a decision.

Do I need to buy risk software?

No. The foundations courses and the quantitative risk register run entirely in Excel. QRM Professional Training includes 30 days of free Safran Risk access, and the Primavera Risk Analysis course includes a free training-version licence. You can complete the pathway without any procurement request.

Is the certification recognised?

The examination is accredited by the Institute of Qualified Risk Managers and leads to the QRMCert. designation. It evidences applied quantitative competence: building QSRA and QCRA models, interpreting confidence levels, identifying risk drivers and reporting to senior management. It is a specialist credential, not a general project management qualification.

My employer is paying. What do you need?

Email rs@iqrm.net with the programme, the number of seats and your company details. We issue a formal quotation on letterhead with scope, dates and deliverables, suitable for submission to procurement, a line manager or a training budget holder. Company invoicing and purchase orders are supported.

Can this be delivered to my project team?

Yes. In-house delivery runs on your own schedule and cost data, so the models built during the programme are models your team keeps and uses. Delivered onsite or online across the UK, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Contact rs@iqrm.net to scope it.

What if the programme is not right for me?

Courses carry a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Live programmes can be refunded in full after the first live session if the fit is wrong. The quantitative risk register workbook carries a 14-day refund.

How much time does it take?

QRM Specialist is three live sessions of two hours, 16:00 to 18:00 UK time, with recordings if you cannot attend live. Foundations courses run from 90 minutes to around three hours. QRM Professional Training is designed to be completed in four weeks alongside a full-time role, with ongoing access afterwards.
