Online Travel Security Awareness for Young People Overseas Course

Fully Online Personal Security & Situational Awareness Training for Young Travellers

Just about everyone knows that young people just love to travel. It is a means of expressing themselves, discovering who they are, and a fantastic means of exposing them to different cultures, societies, and ways of life. It is also common knowledge that there are, and always will be inherent risks that accompany young people whilst they are travelling away from the security of family and home. Understanding the dangers associated with International Travel, backpacking, and ‘working your ticket’ presents many security and safety-related challenges. This course explores many of the issues and presents the learner with mitigation strategies.

About the Course

The course is designed in partnership with Special Projects Group Ltd for young people travelling or working overseas during gap years, student exchange programmes, working with NGO’s and Charities or simply backpacking around the world. The course provides an extensive awareness of security-related and common sense subject matter. The course covers the majority of areas that need to be considered in order to assist in the mitigation of the risk of a security-related incident. The course also covers topics relevant to safety issues, including emergency response planning and measures. Learners should understand that this course cannot guarantee you a risk-free experience, but it will build on your current personal security knowledge and risk mitigation skills.
