Case studies

Real risk assessments are usually complex

Studying with real assessments will

  • help you to better understand contexts and limitations of assessments

  • help you see where and how concepts and methods are used in assessments

  • make you better prepared to produce or use assessments in the future

Do not be disencouraged if you find the real risk assessments to be challenging to read. It takes a lot of experence and knowledge to fully comprehend them.
