In-house risk training

One firm at a time: a bank, building society or lender the PRA regulates, and the people inside it who produce, challenge or approve its capital and liquidity work.

Boards and risk committees who approve the ICAAP, the ILAAP and the recovery plan. Capital and reporting teams facing the Basel 3.1 calculations that apply from 1 January 2027. Treasury teams who own the ILAAP. Second-line risk functions, whether a new head of risk or an operational risk team writing the ICAAP scenarios.

Firms also ask for it as bespoke risk training or corporate risk training; whatever the label, the design starts from your documents rather than a standard deck. Training providers commission the same courses from Risk Education as white-label training, and directors have their own page at board risk training.

Yes, as in-house workshops for the people who write the ICAAP and ILAAP and the directors who approve them. They run as a two-hour board briefing, a one-day course or a two-day workshop in which the team works through its own draft. The content covers Pillar 2A and Pillar 2B, stress and reverse stress testing and, for liquidity, the overall liquidity adequacy rule, the LCR and the contingency plan, taught to SS31/15 and SS24/15.

We design to three lengths: a two-hour board briefing, a one-day course or a two-day workshop. A briefing fits inside a scheduled board meeting; a one-day course suits a team learning one regime, such as Basel 3.1 or the ILAAP; a two-day workshop suits a team that will write a document and works through its own draft in full.

Delivery is on site, online or a mix, and we have taught worldwide, including the UK, the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. A programme can run as one event or as a series timed to the ICAAP cycle. There are no public dates or open-enrolment courses; the Basel 3.1 course shows what a programme looks like in full.

• A standard deck with the firm’s logo on the cover. A course that never opens your last ICAAP has nothing to say about your Pillar 2A.
• The wrong regime in the room. A small domestic deposit taker is taught the full Basel 3.1 package, output floor and all, when its firm applies the SDDT capital regime instead. We ask which regime you are on before we write a slide.
• Treasury and the recovery plan owner trained on different days. The PRA strongly encourages firms to combine the liquidity contingency plan and the recovery plan into one document, so the two teams belong in one workshop.
• Nothing written down afterwards. Firms must assess senior managers and certified staff as fit and proper every year, and the PRA’s rules count qualifications and training in that assessment, so keep a register of who attended and what they worked through.
