WHO SHOULD ATTEND? :
This Level 5 course in Terrorism Awareness and Management is designed to be attended by at-work learners who are tasked with securing or leading the security and resilience of their organisations. Former attendees have included police forces, business and charity CEOs, MDs, security and resilience directors, as well as those in tactical and operational roles, delivering security and emergency planning within police and first responder communities.
The Global Terrorism Index reports that there are some 5,000 terror attacks each year spread across some 120 countries. Attack motivations are varied (religious, political, homophobic, incel) and security events are almost always pre-planned providing significant preventative and incident response opportunities for qualified, well-informed, professionals.
This course is formally endorsed by the CSARN Global Cyber Academy and the Terrorism Information New York Group.

Many organisational crises in business and public sector institutions begin with a series of small trigger incidents, which – taken together – can come to overwhelm an organization, sector, or nation, before senior-decision-makers are able to organise a response that can mitigate hazards and threats.
