L0

Know the role

  1. Read a role through its responsibilitiesRequired

    Translate a role description into three observable learning goals.

L1

Build foundations

  1. Spreadsheet formulas and reconciliationRequired

    Build a sourced calculation table with an independent check.

  2. Statistics, samples and uncertaintyOptional

    Describe a distribution and its limits of inference.

  3. Risk, control and complianceRequired

    Independently: Separate business risk, control and applicable requirements.

  4. Process and ownershipRequired

    Independently: Map onboarding or procurement and assign owners.

L2

Develop core skills

  1. Risk assessmentRequired

    Independently: Rank five risks using a fictional scale and explain the order.

  2. Control evidence and testingRequired

    Independently: Identify records needed to demonstrate control execution.

  3. Monitoring and escalationRequired

    Independently: Design an exception log, review steps and escalation triggers.

L3

Practise scenarios

  1. Research, citation and argumentRequired

    Write a sourced analytical paragraph with limitations.

  2. Policy reading and version controlRequired

    Independently: Check publisher, scope, version and date of a requirement.

  3. Issue reporting and remediationOptional

    Independently: Write findings, evidence, impact, owner and remediation timing.

L4

Build a work sample

  1. Present an inspectable work sampleRequired

    Submit a work sample with method, results and reflection.

Try a practice set

Calculations and choices receive immediate checks. Review open responses yourself against the rubric. All examples are educational.

1. Fictional risk score = likelihood 3 × impact 4. Score?
2. What follows a monitoring-rule hit?
3. After the policy reading and version control task, state one assumption, one supporting fact and one condition that would change your conclusion.

Risk and control assessment

For this risk and control assessment, bound the problem to one educational scenario. List inputs and assumptions, preserve calculations and distinguish findings from missing evidence.

Define the question, scope and success criteria of this risk and control assessment.

Record data, source links, dates, units and assumptions.

Write reproducible steps with calculations, evidence or a process map.

Separate observations, interpretation and recommendations.

List unknowns, validation steps and conditions that change the conclusion.
