THE BIG PICTURE

About this course

Digital Risk Management Certification (DARE25) recognises capability in taking a digital, opportunity-aware approach to enterprise risk. The certification is awarded by APMG International. Across three days you will explore core principles, the digital risk landscape, and how to identify threats and opportunities along value streams. You will practise qualitative and quantitative techniques, define risk appetite and metrics, design governance, and prioritise responses in agile delivery. Hands-on work includes building a risk register, calibrating estimates, modelling scenarios and preparing concise stakeholder reports. The exam leading to the certification is set and administered by APMG International. After the course you book and sit the exam separately through APMG International or an APMG‑accredited provider. The course includes a timed mock exam and clear guidance on next steps for booking and study. APMG International owns the certification scheme. MindClick provides training and exam preparation and is not an accredited or authorised partner.
