Travel Risk Academy Scholarship - Level 4 ATHE Travel Risk Management Award
A professional qualification designed for people who take traveller safety seriously and deserve the chance to advance.
Hear from our inaugural student, Andy Lowe
Read how Andrew Lowe, Travel Risk Manager at BP, became the first person to achieve the Travel Risk Academy Level 4 Qualification in Travel Risk Management, independently accredited by ATHE.
“This qualification is a milestone in my journey as a travel risk manager, helping to both solidify and expand my knowledge and experience. Certification is especially important at a time when the profession is being increasingly measured against ISO 31030.”
Introducing our four successful spring intake recipients to the Level 4 ATHE Award in Travel Risk Management cohort: Mohammad, Deborah, Allan & Daisy.
