Short courses
Relevant and up to date information leading to qualifications for event safety professionals
Developed with venue and event security professionals Showsec, our short courses cover the key areas of crowd management and provide you with the tools you need to run a capacity event safely and profitably.
Using tried and tested methodologies, and real case studies, you'll learn everything you need to know about organising, planning and running events of any scale so you can balance customer service with security requirements.
Ideal for any venue looking to host events, or upscale their current event activities, they also offer an exciting opportunity for career and professional development.
They will particularly appeal to:
- those responsible for safety
- stadia authorities
- deputies and quadrant managers
- emergency services
- local authorities
- anyone wanting to develop their understanding of crowd control, safety management and operational issues.
What qualification will I gain?
On completion of your course you will be awarded a Certificate of Attendance.
Each course is also accredited by the University of Derby which means if you decide to take the work based assessment at the end of the course you can build up 'credits' towards a Higher
Education qualification.
On completion of just two short courses you will be awarded a Certificate of
Continuing Professional Development in Crowd Operations Management. You can then choose to put this towards achieving a full Foundation Degree in Crowd Management.
Subject to validation.
