03 · Risk Education
Risk Education is RiskTAE’s training practice. We design and teach courses on capital, liquidity and risk management, including Basel 3.1, ICAAP, ILAAP and stress testing, in-house for a single firm or as white-label courses delivered under the brand of training providers worldwide.
Every course is taught by people who have done the work in front of a regulator, and built for the people in the room. A board session on Basel 3.1 is about the questions directors should ask; a course for the capital team is about the calculations.
Formats
Designed for your board, NEDs or risk team, using your own framework, models and regulatory history as the case material. On site, online or both.
We design and teach courses for training providers and conference organisers worldwide, under their name and to their audience. You get practitioner faculty and course material built to your format; your delegates see your brand.
Topics
Most courses sit in three areas. Capital and the Basel framework takes in Basel 3.1 and the finalised Basel III standards, credit, market and operational risk capital, and the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book. Internal assessments covers the ICAAP, the ILAAP and recovery planning, for the people who write them and the directors who approve them. Risk management covers frameworks, risk appetite, governance and stress testing.
Associate trainers teach specialist subjects outside those areas, including financial crime, sanctions and tax transparency rules such as FATCA and the Common Reporting Standard.
Audience
Board and NED sessions are for directors who approve the ICAAP and ILAAP and need to challenge them with confidence. Technical courses are for the risk, finance and treasury staff who produce the numbers, and for people moving into prudential risk from other roles.
We have taught in the UK, the Middle East, Africa and South Asia.
Basel 3.1
Basel 3.1 applies in the UK
The PRA’s Basel 3.1 rules take effect on 1 January 2027, under policy statement PS1/26 published on 20 January 2026. For most boards, the first ICAAP under the new rules will be the first time they see the new risk-weighted assets, so the time to learn what drives them is before that pack arrives.
