Certification advances your career. Demand is rising in the job marketplace for FAIR expertise. At this writing, Equinix, Raytheon, Verix, FireEye, LPL Financial and more organizations list jobs calling for FAIR skills – keep up with the latest on the FAIR Institute job board in the LINK members zone (FAIR membership required). 

Certification increases your status in your organization. In the current cyber risk environment, with enterprise level risk implications from ransomware and other threats, boards and senior management are demanding 

What Learners Say about FAIR Training

For a look at how FAIR Fundamentals training and certification has benefited risk professionals, read these course reviews from graduates:

“RiskLens provided a new and very enlightening view of risk analysis.  I've been working in risk focused roles for a few years now, and this has opened many possibilities for shining a light on critical issues that need to be addressed.  I was apprehensive and a bit afraid at first, but soon came to appreciate the FAIR model - very much due to the quality of the online courses and the excellent live course delivery.” 

“It's been really useful to go through the case studies both as a group and unguided, and to have had use of the RiskLens tool to see it in action.” 

"I have never had such a warm experience during training. The content was great, of course, but in the full group and in breakouts everyone was so respectful, helpful, and all added to each other's input. This was a great format and cadence for learning the material." 

“Great entry point for someone like myself who is new to risk analysis!”
