LEVEL 5 AWARD IN CROWD SAFETY MANAGEMENT (RQF)

Crowd Safety Training Ltd are proud to offer this industry-leading Ofqual regulated qualification – The Level 5 Award in Crowd Safety Management (RQF). This course incorporates all of the learning from our former Crowd Science and Risk Analysis programme which has been successfully delivered across the world to thousands of crowd safety professionals.

If you are in charge of people in crowded spaces, you need to understand the principles and applications of Crowd Safety Management (CSM) and Crowd Science – specifically Crowd Risk Analysis. This course teaches event professionals the principles and applications of Crowd Safety and Crowd Science, drawing on over 30 years of  experience and research by Crowd Safety Managers who are responsible for some of the worlds leading events.

THE COURSE

During the Level 5 Award in Crowd Safety management,  we apply our unrivalled knowledge of the science of crowds to your case studies and events. This will include how and when your crowd reaches critical density, and how the effects of design, information and management systems influence your crowd’s behaviour. These are vital elements to understanding crowd safety at your event. 

We help your staff individually or collectively to understand crowds, to plan for and keep crowds safe and to understand and facilitate peaceful protests. Hosting the workshops at your site so that your team can work and learn together.

The course takes the delegates from a basic understanding of crowd risks and crowd safety in places of public assembly and works through the principles and applications of causality for major incidents. During the course delegates are taken through their own site/case related issues and by the end of the three day workshop they will understand how individuals and crowds react to and behave in available space in places of public assembly.

They will also have explored the safety implications for designing and managing such spaces using the appropriate modelling tools and will be able to apply risk management techniques to the development of a robust crowd management plan.

By the end of the course, learners will have developed greater awareness of how individuals and crowds react, and behave, in crowded places. They’ll also explore the application of modelling techniques and tools to enhance public safety.

COURSE SPECIFICATION

This programme is delivered through a blend of workshops and guided self study. Initially, learners are required to attend a three-day workshop. This workshop is designed to be intensive and to deliver a high level of strategic crowd safety knowledge in a short period of time. Day three of the workshop invites learners to apply their learning to an event plan of their choice; this is completed in small groups and then presented back to the class.

Two assignments will be issued post-workshop based on the classroom training; this is to quantify that the learner has fully understood the learning and is suitable for a certificate of achievement.

Once the initial assignment has been marked, learning coaches will assess the work, and if it meets the expected standard, it will then be sent for Internal Quality Assurance (IQA).
