Why we created this guide
to the best GRC training
courses

“Unlike many other professions, the GRC
career path is only loosely defined. With such
a broad mixture of managerial and technical
skills required to master the role, continuing
professional development is crucial.

But there wasn’t anywhere online where I could
easily find the best training courses.

So I reached out to dozens of training course
providers within the GRC space and assessed
their courses to develop this list of the seven best
GRC training courses available for 2020-21.

Peer-reviewed by our Compliance Director Kate
Armitage, these courses have been ranked by
category to help you focus on the skill sets that
matter most to you and your business.”
