Incident Command training
Our Services
We offer a variety of courses which are detailed below. However, if you wish to have a bespoke course designed to meet your specific needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Incident Command training
No organisation wants to have a major incident. However it’s a fact of life that things do go wrong. We live in a world where, when things do go wrong, it is quickly reported on the news or on social media. Our three day Incident Command/Command of Serious Incident training is designed to give delegates the confidence, understanding and ability to perform the role of Silver Commander during a major incident. The course also helps you and your organisation to plan and prepare for the worst. We also cover how to manage incidents in motion and what we should do as responsible organisations after the incident. The course is suitable for anyone who could potentially act as Silver Commander, from middle/senior managers to Company Directors.
