• The ERM Case component allows you to discuss, share and learn global best practices for ERM.

Didactics
Our courses follow the Oxford Learning Model with engaging, impactful and live workshops with participative and challenging exercises. The elements of this methodology are:

• 3 Domains: development should engage participants at three levels – emotionally (feeling – the heart); logically (thinking – the head) and practically (doing – the hand)
• Transferability: delegates should always be able to see how the skills that they are developing can be used back at their workplace
• Memory: the design of the event and the activities within it should be memorable
• Measures: participants (and their organizations) should be able to measure the impact of the intervention
• 5 Senses: the activities within a development program should appeal to all 5 senses wherever possible, to stimulate a range of different responses
• Reflective Dialogue: activities are not effective unless there is a period of reflection built into a program, so that participants can reflect on their actions and plan how they would do things in future
• Transparency: AIIM encourages an environment of openness, trust and transparency – no tricks, no ‘reporting back’ unless agreed.

Study requirements
After joining the Master Course, the exam and case study exercise are available via the internet. The course participant must pass these within 3 months of attending the training course.
