Introduction to Quantitative Risk Analysis
Course description
This 3-day Introduction to Quantitative Risk Analysis course will cover 
the basic principles of risk assessments
and describe where quantitative risk analysis fits in the risk analysis 
process. It briefly looks at resource, strategy
and communication issues that management faces and focuses on the 
most important risk modeling principles
and methods. The course will also get the participants comfortable with 
risk analysis modeling environments (in
this case @RISK with Excel, but the lessons apply equally well to other 
modeling environments). In addition, the
course will cover essential probability and statistics theory and various 
stochastic processes.
Who should attend?
Anyone in science, business and government with an interest in 
quantitative risk analysis such as professionals
and researchers doing animal health and food safety, business risk 
analysis, human epidemiology, engineering and
project risk analysis. While some of the examples will tend to be 
veterinary epidemiology oriented, they are just
examples that can easily be adapted in other areas.

Teaching philosophy
This course aims to help participants understand rather than just learn 
the steps to do a risk analysis. This can
only be achieved in a relaxed, informal and interactive environment using 
plenty of examples and hands-on
exercises where students apply and adapt what they have learned.
ModelAssist
ModelAssist from Vose Consulting is a comprehensive risk analysis 
training and reference software tool.
ModelAssist Advanced for @RISK provides an in-depth explanation of 
many risk analysis concepts, techniques
and methods and will therefore certainly greatly complements the 
modeling issues discussed during this course.
It is particularly helpful as a reference for participants of the material that 
has been presented during the course.
ModelAssist will be available to participants at a reduced price (a 50% 
discount off the regular price).
