Training 4 Resilience – providing you with affordable, agile and flexible training solutions to prepare for, and manage, emergencies and crises
Training is critical for ensuring that individuals and teams are able to carry out their roles effectively and efficiently. We design and deliver a range of different training courses and sessions to support both individuals and teams with core skills (such as situational awareness and decision making, leadership and effective communications) as well as bespoke role-based courses such as log keeping and steward training.
We also provide incident management exercises for teams. These are simulations of an emergency situation and they enable participants to validate their emergency plans and arrangements, as well as building confidence and developing competence. Exercises vary from simple discussion-based exercises, through to control room exercises and live exercises where all aspects of an emergency are practiced in real time. Key to the success of a Training 4 Resilience exercise is the attention to bespoke details that make it relevant for your event (rather than just a generic discussion)
It is our huge privilege to work with a range of different events and teams including premiership football and rugby clubs, iconic music festivals and international sporting events; as well as small community events and organisations that mean so much to us all in our day to day lives.
NOEA is a supportive, welcoming and inclusive association that looks after all of its members both small, and large, from all aspects of the events industry. It brings together the best of the Outdoor Events Sector to support and learn from one another, and to develop and ensure best practice. We are proud to be members of NOEA and truly value the knowledge and friendship that the Association brings to us all.
