The course is designed to equip participants from a range of disciplines with core security skills applicable across a range of medium to high risk mission contexts. We combine experience and best practices from a wide spectrum of civilian, journalist, UN, EU, diplomatic, military and police settings. Our highly experienced and certified trainers offer personal insights from work both in mission and individual assignment contexts in Africa, the Middle East, Afghanistan and Asia. Specialist areas such as Actions under fire; IEDs; Front line first aid; Hostage taking; and Conduct after capture will be covered, alongside core elements, including situational awareness and security planning / preparations. Finally, the course will also include data/communications security awareness modules, with core training and tools to better protect your personal and professional data.
The course will be conducted virtually via Zoom software. The training will consist of lectures and facilitated discussions by senior experts and practitioners in the field. A virtual space will be provided for group discussions and best practices, and for experience sharing among the participants under the guidance of the senior mentor.
