A compact digital refresher course for people who have previously completed an in-person safety and security training and are currently preparing for an assignment abroad: Drawing on your experience and with lively exchanges in small groups, you will refresh your capacity to deal with risks and hazards.

You will reinforce the skills you need to cope with threatening situations, analyse any experiences you may have had in the past, and become more aware of security risks and possible preventive actions.

This training includes:

• Analysing threats and risks analysis; preventive measures for avoiding dangers
• Scope for action in violent situations (assault, burglary, etc.)
• Security on the move (on foot/when driving), at home and in hotels
• Kidnapping and attacks; natural disasters
• Reviewing and developing strategies for dealing with dangerous situations; answers to specific questions

Some topics can be covered in greater detail, depending on the priorities and needs of the group.

Our pool of trainers includes security experts, psychologists, mediators, coaches and trainers from the field of civil conflict management.

This offer is part of the Skills4Abroad programme. The content is not specific to GIZ.​

This is not an introductory course on safety and security.
