Richard Atterbury
"I would highly recommend the Certified Cyber Risk Officer course. It provides a good overview of the issues and risks associated with cyber security, without assuming a detailed technical knowledge. I have found the course to be very engaging, structured and well taught."















Dr Vince Hughes
"Over my long career, I have experienced many courses from the perspective of a participant and a lecturer. I can honestly say the Certified Cyber Risk Officer stands as one of the best I have experienced. It is obvious the course has been developed by experts and has been designed primarily around the student, the content and the delivery. While the course is indeed intense, it is by no means overwhelming. Considering the subject matter, the ability to make the course easily digestible is a massive achievement and credit to the team involved. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to understand and demystify the cyber world in which we now operate."















Keith Baxter
"A wealth of knowledge has been gained from the course.
Enjoyable and perfectly paced with some great real world insights."















Samantha Moolman
"I thought this course would be too technical for me not being in IT, but it is very well paced. The learning materials are easy to follow and concise and the forum collaboration and support is great. The course ties in so many factors across the business from board level to teams that give you a really well rounded approach to cyber security and you can see each week how you can apply this in your everyday roles. Highly recommended!!"















Audrey Barrett
This is truly an excellent course. The content is well planned and executed, with continuous reinforcement of important themes and teaching methods. The tutors knowledge and experience are invaluable. The interaction with other students proved valuable on aspects of the course and in the broader cyber risk landscape.















Stephen McCormack
This is an excellent course full of information and relevant material for any organization. I have recently completed a Masters in Cyber Security and I would say this CCRO course has been more practical and useful in my day to day role. I would safely say the Head Tutor Paul C Dwyer knows everything there is to know about managing Cyber Risk in todays business environment.















Ayana Moore
"I really enjoyed the course. The format of delivery is via video as well as notes for those who prefer to read. Taking the different ways that people learn is appreciated. The information and examples referenced is relevant and current, which is important since the threats and tactics used is ever evolving. Would definitely recommend!"















Neil Clark
"I work in the field of financial crime, mostly anti-money laundering, anti-corruption and fraud. Increasingly, cyber crime is impinging on every aspect of my work and consequently I really need to be well acquainted with the pertinent issues. This inspiring course is exactly what I have been looking for and is provides me with the kind of foundation that I can put into practice."















Mark Taylor
"We all know Cyber Security is important but do we genuinely understand the relevance to our role? The course is ideal for senior managers and those sitting on risks committees. It will give you the knowledge and confidence to take an active part in discussions concerning cyber risk and equip you to provide effective input into a subject which goes beyond tech."















Chuck Georgo
"If you are the CEO of a company or organization that relies on information and communications technology to deliver your products and services, then you must appoint someone in your C-suite to serve as your Cyber Risk Officer and this is the course you must have them complete; you will sleep more soundly if you do."















Pritesh Patel
"I have thoroughly enjoyed learning on this course. The content provided on this course is very informative using different methods such as videos and live ILT sessions. The tutor has been a great support throughout and provided great guidance."















Tristan Caley
"The CCRO course is an immersive 8 week learning experience. The material is expertly delivered by Paul C Dwyer and his team taking you on a journey that gives you a detailed understanding of the potential cyber threats to the business, the metrics to measure them and the tools to communicating the risks and control in the boardroom."















Simon Rafferty
"I'm finding the course fascinating and really well paced, I was a bit concerned about fitting in the course around my role but with the lectures being online and recorded if you can't make the slot its ideal. Would recommend to anyone interested in a Cyber Risk role."















Michel Schumacher
"I attended the course out of personal interest, without working in this particular area. It required some effort and dedication to get into the matter, but it was easily doable, due to the comprehensive course materials and the webinars. I learned a lot in this short amount of time."
