The FRM Short Course is Back!
1st July 2022
After a one year absence the Flood Risk Management Short Course is being offered again in 2022. The course is hosted by the University of Technology Sydney, with input from FMA and the NSW Government.
The link for the first block, Introduction to Floodplain Risk Management, (FRM) is now open for enrolments: https://open.uts.edu.au/uts-open/study-area/built-environment/introduction-to-floodplain-risk-management-frm/
Enrolments for the other 2 blocks will open shortly.
The course has been designed to:
- Equip you with good understanding of how FRM is undertaken in NSW and other flood prone states in Australia and the roles of relevant agencies;
- Provide you with a solid understanding of the principles of FRM and the desired outcomes of FRM projects;
- Improve your skills to work on FRM projects and be more effectively involved in the FRM process; and
- Enhance your ability to specify and manage FRM projects.
This course is delivered online. Students watch online lectures and video before attending three 1.5 hour sessions. During these sessions brief recaps of online material are provided leading to detailed Q&A.
Students break into small groups to workshop a realistic scenario providing an opportunity to apply what has been taught and to show how detail is applied into practice. Small groups are facilitated by industry experts. The session concludes with reinforcement of key messages and learning.
