Credit & Risk Training offers a complete portfolio of courses both on a custom and open-enrollment basis. When you register for one of our courses, you will gain a unique insight into Standard & Poor's assessment methodology and direct access to leading analysts in their fields, as well as exposure to current techniques in credit risk management; upon completion, you will have been provided with tools and knowledge that you can use immediately upon your return to your organization.
We deliver a range of courses worldwide each year that focus on a variety of sectors: industrial issuers, financial institutions, insurance companies, structured finance, and project finance—all involving the active participation of leading Standard & Poor's rating analysts. In concert with Standard & Poor's Risk Solutions, we also offer courses that address the practical aspects of credit risk management required by the market environment and regulatory conditions of today.
In the past two years, 80% of attendees reported our courses as ‘excellent’, ‘very good’ or ‘good’ value for money, while more than 90% said they would recommend our courses (compiled from Course Evaluation forms submitted by all attendees at the conclusion of a course).
In 2007, we introduced Recovery Ratings as a course topic. This one-day course
provides an explanation of the Recovery Ratings analytical criteria, which includes
approximating conditions that would lead a corporate issuer into a default scenario,
establishing expected post-default valuations, and reviewing related topics such as
bankruptcy practices and documentation issues that can affect ultimate recovery.
For 2008, we have added Credit Risk Portfolio Management as a new course topic. This one-day course leverages our experience in credit risk and credit portfolio management, and has been designed to bring valuable insights to all practitioners involved in credit risk at the portfolio level.
