Excelent, i am very conformed with content learned new york institute finance.
A good comprehensive overview to the discipline of risk management.
This course is very engaging and useful
Very good and progressing learning curve with good assessment and discussion forums to help check our progresses . It is a shame that the discussion does not seem to be monitored ( responded) by the professor as some people might need support and more explanation on probability analysis and concept ( eg the concept of Distribution )
First I want to clarify that I study Risk Management because I thought it would increase my knowledge in the PM career, I'm in the 3rd week of this course, and the Instructor Mr. Joseph Iraci has great knowledge, yet He can't explain the subject well enough, or even stay on the same line of the discussion which leads me to get lost in too many threads on my head (don't know which is which or what belong to where) This course would be great if just someone goes over it and edits it to make it linked and clear enough for beginners to understand and wrap their heads around
The course is the good introduction of risk management fundamentals. It set the building blocks of the traditional market, credit, and operational risks and the addition of other emerging risk types and strips that constitute the foundations of risk management framework, development and applicatons. The use of relevant artefacts including papers, reports, and surveys as the course supports help for deepen understanding of the concepts. I recommend this course.
Very good course, very well organized and clearly explained. The instructor speaks and explains very clearly and slowly. The attached material is very appropriate.
An up-to-date overview of the main principles of Risk Management, from granular e.g. Market Risk to Enterprise level.
Insightful
good
It is a good starting point, but for depth one has to build from some other courses. This courses lack real life interactive simulations.
Good topic, but I hope that the video sessions would be more informative.
Few more examples and quizzes would make this course even better.
First part of the course was really interesting but then things became boring and bad described. Formulas in lessons are not enough to solve problems in quizzes. I expected much more from this course(
Practical demonstration of risk process taken by managers might have proved extremely helpfull.
few , or none, cases... too much conceptual and theoretical... slides and videos were boring...
The "Introduction to Risk Management" course from the New York Institute of Finance was a great learning experience. It provided me with a solid understanding of different types of risks—such as financial, operational, and market risks—and the strategies used to manage and mitigate them. The course content was structured in a way that made even complex concepts easy to grasp, which I found particularly useful. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their foundation in risk management, especially those in finance or business fields.
This course provided a clear and structured introduction to risk management principles. I especially appreciated the practical examples of scenario analysis and stress testing, as well as the focus on integrating risk management into organizational strategy. The content was very relevant to my professional work in enterprise risk management. Thank you to the NYIF team for this valuable learning experience!
