You are receiving the training from facilitators that have developed and delivered the current national exercise training program and managed the largest exercise series in the country over the past 10 years (most recently the G20 in Brisbane and the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast).
You will receive a full workbook with all the information provided over the one, two or three days of training plus the templates and ‘tips and tricks’ of exercise development, delivery and evaluation.
The course is tailored for you and your area. This course is realistic in terms of focusing on your areas geographic and demographic make-up and gives you the tools to develop and deliver the style and size of exercise suited to your environment.
I am sure you often watch the news and see a crisis or incident (disaster and emergency orientated) and think, I’m glad that wasn’t us. This is a natural reaction, then we start to think about how we would have performed in the same situation.
Natural questions:
This is where training and exercising play their part. A good training and exercising program allows an organisation to invest in their people and maintain or increase capability and capacity. Hoping that you and your team will manage in an effective and professional manner can make for many sleepless nights. Knowing that you have an effective and capable team gives you confidence and certainty going forward ensuring business continuity against potencial threats to the government, companies and businesses.
This course gives you the methodology and tools to create quality exercises and the skills to evaluate and validate exercise outcomes. Running a badly constructed exercise is often worse than running no exercise at all. We are excited to be working with you and your teams to ensure this does not happen.
I recently watched the coverage of the Christchurch incident and apart from my sadness and empathy with the first responders, I watched with pride as emergency responders, councils, government agencies and the health professionals worked as one in the face of a horrific event. We all train for, but never want these events to occur. Exercises allows us to practice, explore, learn, test and validate in a safe and controlled environment. If ‘that day comes’ we need to be ready.
What organisation would not want to ensure that their people are trained and ready to face the unexpected challenges that will confront us. We look forward to working with you and giving you a great training experience. When we leave, we are confident that participants will have the ability to run exercises (individually or together) to enhance both your organisations capability and capacity.
