Training

Attendance Policy

The 'Spine' of courses offers a coherent development path that relates directly to your professional needs. It starts at a foundation level with the opportunity to accredit at LCGI and progresses through a series of developmental modules. Additionally, modules are being planned to fit into the Certificate, Diploma and Masters Programmes being delivered by Leeds University Business School. We also deliver specific training and developmental opportunities with our specialist courses. These usually require a basic understanding of some of the underlying principles as explained in our Attendance Policy.

We have introduced an Attendance Policy to ensure that you attend the courses that best fit your training needs.

Spine of Civil Protection Courses

Before attending any of the following courses you should normally have completed the Introduction to Civil Protection course.

• Awareness of the Process and Planning for Business Continuity Management  (formerly BCM1) 
• Developing & Embedding your Business Continuity Management Programme  (formerly BCM2)
• Maintaining a Business Continuity Management Culture and Addressing the Complexity Issues of Supply Chains (formerly BCM3)
• Business Continuity Promotion
• Emergency Control Centre Operation  (formerly EM1)

• Creating Emergency Plans  (formerly Planning 1) 
• Validating Emergency Plans  (formerly Planning 2)

• Risk Management 2 - Integrating and Communicating Emergency Risk   

This requirement will be waived if you attended the former Introduction to Emergency Planning or Fundamentals of Emergency Planning courses between January 2001 and September 2004. We will also consider letting you by–pass this requirement if you have a certain level of knowledge and experience.

Spine of Crowd and Event Safety Courses

Before attending the following courses, you should normally have completed the Introduction to Crowd and Event Safety Management course.

• Public Safety at Sports Grounds and Events

• Public Safety at Festivals and Mass Gatherings

• Public Safety in Complex and Built Environments

This requirement will be waived if you have already attended one of the three Crowd and Event Safety courses named above between January 2002 and September 2004. We will also consider letting you by–pass this requirement if you have a certain level of knowledge and experience.

We think that you will benefit from attending the Introduction to Crowd and Event Safety Management course prior to attending the following courses unless you have previously attended any of the first three Crowd and Event Safety courses named above.

• Crowd Dynamics
• Temporary Demountable Structures

Care of People Cluster of Courses

Whilst not compulsory, attendance on the Foundation course for Managing the Care of People in an Emergency or the Introduction to Civil Protection course would provide a very useful background for the following events. In any event, you should have completed the on–line Introduction to Civil Protection pre–course work.

• Emergency Support Centres
• Community Recovery
• Humanitarian Assistance Centres

Specialist Courses

Often there will be a pre–course learning pack, designed to help you gain maximum benefit from the residential course. Additionally you may find benefit from attending our Introduction to Civil Protection course before attending any of these courses.
