RE-SAFE COURSE

---

The Re-SAFE course allows learners the opportunity to refresh their previous knowledge and renew their certification and competency. The course offers a variation in scenarios providing variety in the delivery of outcomes. The refresher shares best practice for travel and management of potential threats and the hazards posed. The skills and knowledge gained through the course provide reassurance for staying safe overseas, mitigating risks and developing positive actions when faced with danger.

The SAFE course is one of our core training products offered by 1705 Consultancy and Comera Risk, initially designed to provide safety and security for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) employees and their families. Since the course inception in 2015, we have provided thousands of individuals with the confidence to stay safe overseas. This course is ideal for anyone planning to travel abroad but equally builds confidence around everyday life situations.

Scenario based learning will offer context to protect against marauding threats and unknown hazards, developing skills and knowledge to help mitigate the risks from travel. Learners develop a range of skills including situational awareness, conflict management, self-defence and first aid which are contextualised in response to potential threats such as terrorism and crime.

On completion, learners receive an updated qualification which is valid for another 3 years.

The course is a Level 3 training programme accredited by Highfield, an Ofqual regulated training provider.
