Course Description

  • Overview

    With South Africa’s current violence and crime threat level being so high, the need for a shift in security awareness has become an urgent requirement and has also become a duty of care requirement for organisations and their employees. This cannot be achieved without meeting the need to uplift individual behaviour to a more innovative, holistic, inclusive and proactive level of security and safety awareness so that this becomes a cultural norm.
