Level 5 Award in Strategic Planning and Management of Major Events
Major events are often the ultimate test of a city’s or even nation’s capability in terms of complex project management.
Every four years the Olympic Games pushes back the understanding of major event management, with the eyes of the world rest on a country that is expected to host hundreds of athletes, thousands of support staff and media, hundreds of thousands of visitors and billions of fans who are watching events live on their televisions, computers and portable devices across the globe.
However, even for lesser events, the likelihood is that the underlying infrastructure that is used to support the development, delivery and on-going management of the event will be tested to a level that has never been experienced before and which requires long-term planning and multi-stakeholder capability development of the highest level.
At the heart of that planning and delivery process is the development of an appropriate C4 (Command / Control /Coordination /Communication) management system, as well as a detailed roadmap that can establish, right from the beginning of the delivery process, a framework within which the multiple components of a successful major event can be put together in a planned, structured and cohesive manner.
This programme takes many of the lessons learned from the London 2012 London Olympics and Paralympic Games, and creates a set of templates, frameworks and protocols that can be applied to the planning and management of any major event, whatever its size, scope or intrinsic nature.
Level 5 Award in Terrorism Prevention and Management
There is no single style of terrorism, just as there are no single causes – and yet for the modern security and risk manager, whatever context they are operating in, the need to have an awareness of the range of threats that terrorism could cause, as well as to have a range of pro-active and pre-emptive management frameworks, and (in the event that they are needed) reactive post-event responses, has never been higher.
This programme is designed for security and risk managers who are being tasked with the modelling, planning and management of security programmes that are robust enough to protect their communities not just from accidents and disasters, but from wilful attack.
It is based on the lessons learned over a life-time of experience from multiple practitioners, as well as globally accepted best practices that allow anyone, whatever their role or environment, to utilise standard templates, frameworks and methodologies in order to ensure that their own communities are as safe as it is possible to be.
Terrorism Prevention and Management is not something that can happen in isolation. It requires the buy-in of everyone involved in an organisation, as well as the development of a wider network of personal and professional connections that creates a safe and security environment, rather than focussing on securing isolated components.
This course covers all of the significant issues that need to be taken into account when creating a holistic, integrated and, above all, sustainable terrorism awareness and management programme.
