Decision-Making and Quantitative Risk Analysis using @RISK (8023/AACEI Two)
Includes an introduction to the use of @RISK with other DecisionTools software

The 2 day @RISK-specific training employs simple examples to present modeling techniques and the capability of the software, as well as simulation analysis. By the end of the course, attendees should be able to perform defensible risk assessments using the @RISK software. Two days provides a sound introduction to @RISK.
