Qualifi Certified Professional in Operational Risk Management
(QCP-ORM) Certificate
Qualifi Endorsed Course
The Qualifi Certified Professional in Operational Risk Management (QCP-ORM) Certificate is a practice-led professional certification designed for specialists and professionals working in operational risk, internal control, compliance, resilience, assurance, operations, technology, and related functions.
In today’s fast-changing operating environment, organisations need professionals who can do more than understand risk in theory.
They need people who can identify weaknesses early, assess exposures with discipline, respond to disruption intelligently, and present clear recommendations to management.
The programme develops a strong applied understanding of operational risk management by combining governance, framework design, risk identification, RCSA, scenario analysis, control evaluation, KRIs, loss-event review, operational resilience, business continuity, incident response, third-party dependency risk, and professional communication. Through structured modules, realistic case studies, workshops, and workplace-style assignments, learners build the capability to translate operational risk standards into practical tools such as dashboards, risk registers, action plans, and management-ready recommendations.
This endorsed certificate is ideal for professionals who want to strengthen their ability to identify, assess, report, and manage operational-risk exposures in modern organisations and regulated environments.

16Session 3: Operational Risk versus Enterprise Risk, Compliance Risk, and Conduct RiskText lesson
This session helps you distinguish operational risk from other closely related ideas that often appear in the same incident. You will learn how enterprise risk management provides the wider organisational framework, how compliance risk focuses on obligations and rules, and how conduct risk focuses on behaviour and harmful outcomes. The aim is practical: clearer classification leads to clearer ownership and better action.
