Role-specific, scenario-based training aligned with legislation and designed to keep people safe.
Your people are your most important asset and the difference between a near-miss and a headline. Training is where plans become habits: clear roles, confident communication and actions that work when it’s loud and messy. Our courses are plain-English and hands-on, built from lessons learnt, inquest findings, academic research and front-line experience.
We tailor every programme and course to your risks and operations, and connect it to the rest of the work we do — risk assessments that identify the gaps, emergency plans your team can follow, and event command that keeps shows moving — so practice and paperwork match.
Delivery is available on-site, in-person, remote/online or hybrid to suit your team and the course, and you’ll see behaviour change from day one with records and certificates leadership can defend.
Every course we deliver is grounded in real-world operational experience — decades of front-line policing, military operations and emergency response. We don’t teach from textbooks; we teach from incident debriefs, coroner’s inquests and the hard lessons that only come from being there when it matters.
Our training integrates with your wider safety framework. Whether you need a standalone first aid course or a full programme covering security awareness, de-escalation, incident command and emergency procedures, we design it around your specific risks, team structure and operational environment — so what your people learn in the classroom is what they do on the ground.
We offer a comprehensive range of security and safety training including: First Aid and Trauma Response (EFAW, FAW, FREC 3, FREC 4, Paediatric), De-escalation and Conflict Management, Emergency Procedures and Drills, Security Awareness and Behavioural Detection, SAFEE: Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) across multiple programmes, and Incident Command Training. Each course is designed to be practical, scenario-based and aligned with current legislation.
Absolutely. We tailor every programme to your specific risks, operations, venue type and team structure. Whether you run a festival, manage a stadium, operate a public venue or coordinate corporate events, we design training around the threats and scenarios most relevant to you. This includes using your own emergency plans, site layouts and operational procedures as the basis for exercises and scenarios.
Training can be delivered on-site at your premises, in-person at a venue of your choice, remotely via online platforms, or as a hybrid combining in-person and online elements. We work with you to find the format that suits your team, schedule and the nature of the course. Practical courses like first aid and de-escalation are best delivered face-to-face, while awareness courses can work well online.
Yes. All participants receive certificates of completion that confirm the course content, duration and date. For regulated courses such as First Aid at Work (FAW) and Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW), certificates are issued through the appropriate awarding body and are valid for the required period. These records provide evidence of competence that your leadership can defend to regulators and insurers.
Course durations vary depending on the subject and depth of content. Awareness sessions can be delivered in half a day, while comprehensive courses such as First Aid at Work run over three days. Incident Command and SAFEE: HEAT programmes can range from one to five days depending on the level and modules selected. We can also design bespoke programmes that combine elements from multiple courses into a schedule that works for your team.
Yes. Many of our courses have recommended or mandatory refresh periods — for example, First Aid at Work requires a three-yearly renewal. We offer refresher courses for all our programmes and can set up a training schedule so your team stays current. We also recommend annual refreshers for security awareness, de-escalation and emergency procedures to keep skills sharp and aligned with any changes in legislation or your operational environment.
This is one of our key strengths. Because we also produce emergency plans, risk assessments and provide event command services, we can integrate your training directly with your wider safety framework. Your team practises with the actual plans, procedures and command structures they would use in a real incident — so there is no gap between what they learn in the classroom and what they do on the ground. This joined-up approach is what sets our training apart.
