Short Courses
Short Courses in Crowd Management & Security
This series of courses are of one or two days in duration and can either be taken as one off certificates or in a group of five leading to a Diploma in Crowd Management & Security Development.
The programmes are taught by top security, crowd managers or academics with a security or crowd management background. This gives both knowledge and applied learning which is invaluable for working in the industry. These programmes have been created to give short sharp bursts of knowledge which are immediately applicable to specific security and/or crowd management situations which are happening now.
These programmes are available through the International Centre for Crowd Management & Security Studies at Buckinghamshire New University and can be booked in three ways:
• By attending a course in the UK at the University
• By attending an accredited training provider across Europe
• By booking your own set of programmes in your own country and utilising experts provided by the University to teach on the programme
