The Risk Assessment in Project Finance course at Hayford Integrated Training Institute provides a structured understanding of how risks are identified, evaluated, allocated, and mitigated in large-scale infrastructure and capital-intensive projects. Participants will learn how project risks differ from corporate risks, how stakeholders share responsibilities through contracts, and how financial models are used to analyze risk impact and project viability.
