Why Enroll in Our Courses?

Knowledge brought into practice

Gaining knowledge without hardly using it in your daily work is a waste of time. It is like learning a foreign language that you do not use on a regular basis. The result: most of what you learned disappears, it is the cycle of learn-and-use that makes things stick.

This applies to many training courses that are offered in the market. The knowledge gap is not adapted to the participant's needs and often the training is on a high-level without hardly paying attention to how the daily working practice of the participant works.

Triple A RC Academy uses cases and examples from own working experiences to make relevant knowledge come alive and stick.

Also, specialised exam training is offered to prepare participants to achieve internationally renowned certifications in Sustainability & Climate Risk (SCR by GARP Institute) and the Investment Foundations Certification (by CFA Institute).

Simple Online Enrollment

All courses are offered as a virtual classroom and registering is a simple porcess.

Also, the courses can be organised in-house for a specific client. Feel free to reach out for more information on this.

"There are unknown unknowns..."

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones."

2002 Statement from former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (1932-2021)

In daily practice we often see that it is the "unknown knowns" that are at the center of knowledge gaps: an organization or an individual may know that there is a lack of knowledge and closing that gap would result in better work efficiency and job satisfaction. But to pinpoint that lack of knowledge is not always easy and can hinder in making concrete plans.

A baseline measurement (or zero measurement) can provide good insights for tailoring a training course.

(see the Learning Modules section for more information on these baseline measurements)

Dunning-Kruger Effect

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge.

Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills.

In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.
