Training Courses
Armadillo At Large provide a range of intensive courses in personal security, security management and contingency planning. Training may take place pre-deployment or in-country and can cater for all operational staff including specialist training for security officers.
AAL runs off the shelf training for the individual or smaller agencies, providing a cost-effective solution to your training requirements, as well as tailor made courses for larger agencies. These courses give your staff the vital skills they need to keep them safer and fulfil the agency’s duty of care.
Pre-deployment
Too many security incidents happen in the first few weeks of an aidworker’s deployment. Why not prepare your staff before they are too busy to spare the time? Our training Centre in North Yorkshire, with its excellent transport links to London and three international airports provides an excellent opportunity to give staff a grounding in skills proven to help them make the best decisions when things go wrong.
In Country
Our teams of highly experienced trainers can get anywhere you need them to go. They are skilled in providing the right kind of training in the right place at the right time.
Personal Security
Using a blend of theory and practical exercise, participants will learn how to develop situational awareness and decision making skills that will give them the best chance of surviving when they are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Security Management
Using Koenraad Van Brabant’s work on managing security in violent environments as our starting point, your staff will learn the skills and techniques that they need to design a security management framework for their teams. They will be able to identify the procedures and policies they need in order to enhance the ability of the team to work safely in the most challenging environments.
Contingency planning
Like it or not, even in the best managed operations things will go wrong. This course gives participants the skills and knowledge they need to write effective contingency plans and manage major security incidents when they happen.
Specialist training for security officers
Security Officer, advisor, focal point, what their role title, this person will minimise the risk your agency is exposed to. This course will develop their skills and expose them to the most up to date methodologies and thinking in the world of security management. They will be able to write security plans, carry out audits, both procedural and physical, and design the systems that your agency needs to mitigate the threats that your teams face.
