Online Safety on Campus … A Guide for Students Course

Fully Online Personal Security & Situational Awareness Training for Students Living on Campus

Starting a new life as a student in a new and different city or country is very exciting, and while most students will have a perfectly safe and crime-free experience, it is a fact that one third of students will be a victim of crime of one sort or another during their time at college or university. The most common crimes are theft and robbery, followed by incidents involving violent physical or sexual assault. Statistics show that an estimated 20 per cent of student robberies/muggings occur in the first six weeks of the academic year, when students are distracted with settling in.

About the Course

The course is designed in partnership with Special Projects Group Ltd for students at higher education institutions to gain awareness and practical advice of the potential dangers that exist on and off campus and how to keep safe in their new environment, which will then allow them to be able to relax and focus on studies. By far the best defence is to always use common sense and awareness when in any situation, therefore this course aims to instil in the candidate an awareness that will keep them, their property, and the people around them, safe. The knowledge and preparation gained from this course can help a student to navigate their way confidently into their new life and dramatically reduce the probability of becoming a victim of crime.
