Course Overview

In our complex and interdependent world, escalating incidents can quickly become extremely challenging for first responders and lead to significant and unanticipated cumulative and cascading effects. Such events can ultimately have enormous consequences with respect to life, property, and infrastructure and leave significant recovery challenges. Emergency and incident management standards in the sector are high, but they need to be higher. Employers are now demanding that those with an incident response remit are trained, qualified, and accountable. This short postgraduate certificate course is for professionals working in public and emergency services, private sector, or consultancy with responsibility for incident response, minimizing risks to the public, facilitating early recovery, informing public and organizational risk management practice and preparedness, training others, and designing and running emergency exercises.
