Course Overview
This bundle brings together two complementary courses to help organisations strengthen their security, preparedness, and resilience.
Delegates will complete the Risk, Crisis and Disaster Management course (RCD) over three days, live via Zoom. You will build the confidence on how to effectively manage a crisis and to help prevent unexpected incidents. You will also develop the skills to respond to incidents, manage disruption and support business recovery.
The SFJ Awards Level 2 Award in Counter-Terrorism Protective Security and Awareness (CTPSA) course is designed for those working in public-facing roles, the course provides an awareness of how to recognise potential threats, identify suspicious behaviour, and what to do in the event of an incident. During the course, learners will be equipped with an understanding of how to report concerns appropriately and the steps required should an incident occur.
Together, these two programmes provide a practical end-to-end resilience pathway for today’s evolving risk landscape.
After attending the Risk, Crisis and Disaster Management course, delegates will have up to six months to book and attend the SFJ Awards Level 2 Award in Counter-Terrorism Protective Security and Awareness course which is a one day course delivered via Zoom.
Should any learners wish to proceed with a more detailed course in counter-terrorism, we also offer a classroom-based course SFJ Awards Level 3 Award in Counter-Terrorism Protective Security and Preparedness designed in partnership with the National Counter-Terrorism Security Office and the only qualification endorsed by CTP and NaCTSO.
