“Over the last seven years you have delivered fantastic security management and crisis management trainings for our Security
Risk Management Advisors and Country Directors. Your trainer is an outstanding subject matter expert with huge experience.”
For online security training to be outstanding, learners must feel engaged and connected. Crucial Safety’s online learning – whether public or private – enables just that. Our digital tools allow learners to experience top quality online training without giving up that vital feeling of connection.
Exceptional classroom-centred security training is dynamic, compelling, and effective. At Crucial Safety we use high-impact training approaches proven by academic research to be the most effective. Experience blended learning, spaced learning, simulated exercises and real-life examples first-hand.
Crucial Safety delivers high quality consultancy work. We have trusted and long-standing relationships with many organisations, who we support with security and crisis management advice at HQ, regional and field levels. We can help with risk assessments, travel safety audits, crisis management documentation and more.
Many security professionals new to the job are expected to carry out their role with little training, support or advice. To help, we offer a highly specialised, bespoke mentoring service offering a supportive relationship between your staff member and one of our experienced and knowledgeable security experts.
“Since 2016 you have led nearly 200 members of our HQ and country leadership teams through full-day, bespoke desk-top crisis management scenarios. The approach could not be better
and challenges even our most experienced team members. It’s a great use of our valuable time, made worthwhile by the excellent standard of facilitation.”
The trainers at Crucial Safety make a massive difference to the value our students take from their training. What better than to have a trainer who has been in similar situations to you and fully understands your challenges? Or who has worked for similar organisations? Our trainers know from experience exactly how important our courses are to front line workers and we do our utmost to provide great quality and affordable security training to anyone who needs it, using the best possible training techniques.
