Online Training
R4Risk also offers live online training in various aspects of risk management and process safety. Our live online training encourages engagement similar to a face-to-face classroom training. These sessions are not pre-recorded, so the participants can interact with each other and the presenter as the sessions proceed. The training class sizes will be small to encourage high-quality discussions and offer plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The best part of taking a live online training course is that attendees can join at the comfort of their own home.
