Comcover Training Schedule
Semester One 2013
Comcover's insurance and risk management training program is tailored specifically for Comcover Fund Members. The courses integrate insurance and risk management information, address public sector issues and offer varying levels of specialisation. Courses include references to the AS/NZ 31000:2009 Risk Management Standard, and business continuity concepts contained in the ANAO Better Practice Guide, Business Continuity Management - Building resilience in public sector entities.
There are courses targeted at the identified learning needs of:
- newcomers to insurance and risk management roles who require introductory and overview information
- experienced Fund Members who require analytically focused information and technical instruction
- experienced Fund Members who require focused material on a specific topic
The number of places offered for each course is limited. This allows participants greater access to trainer knowledge and encourages active participation by attendees. Comcover courses are provided free of charge to Fund Member agencies who commit to attendance. Demand for courses is high so early registration is recommended. Unless otherwise indicated courses are held in Canberra.

Please note that each course outline also includes a recommendation on the activities you should undertake or documents you should obtain prior to attending the class. These recommendations ensure you and your colleagues get the greatest value from participation in the training.
