Training course overview

Are you aspiring to become a Strategic Crisis Leader capable of thriving under pressure, equipped with substantial crisis management experience, earning the full confidence of the Board, and empowered to make critical decisions on the spot within organizational policies? If so, then this training course is tailored for you.

The term "Crisis" has gained widespread recognition across social media, government, and industry, encompassing everything from minor disputes to acts of terrorism. Regrettably, many current approaches to crisis management tend to be reactive and improvised, often lacking sufficient advance planning or rigorous testing—qualities that effective crisis management should embody. This intensive online training course by Coventry Academy aims to highlight innovative and proven proactive strategies. These methods have been rigorously tested and are designed for implementation by carefully selected personnel who are thoroughly trained and confident in their roles and procedures.
