*New for 2005/06: We are expanding our programme to include courses which will further develop your knowledge and skills, for example, in risk and business continuity management, dealing with the recovery phase of a CBRN incident, material welfare and the care of people after an emergency and applying geographic information systems (GIS) to integrated emergency planning. From September 2006 we will also be developing, in partnership with one of the UK's leading University, an advanced package of training and education for senior practitioners.
