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.”
