Book Now!
Given the insecure and often rapidly changing environments in which aid agencies work, safety and security management is not an optional extra. It needs to be at the heart of humanitarian programmes.
This five-day intensive course will enable participants to identify the key requirements for managing security in complex emergencies and conflict zones by practicing essential techniques in risk management, security assessment and crisis response.
The course draws on extensive field case studies, the current humanitarian environment and the security management practices used by humanitarian bodies internationally.
The Certificate is competency based and focused on skills that you can demonstrate.
Credits can be transferred to the Masters in Development and Emergency Practice (DEP) from Oxford Brookes University or other similar postgraduate qualifications.
