IntroductionSDS specialises in designing and running training that delivers real and measureable results. Whether it’s training for NGO personnel in hostile environments; police and security professionals in high risk situations; or private oil and gas companies, SDS delivers bespoke, relevant and practical training that is clearly focused on the real issues and required outcomes. Outlined below is an overview of some of the most widely recognised SDS courses. Situational Awareness and Hostile Environment TrainingAn increasing number of non-military personnel are being deployed in hostile and fragile environments with limited protection and supportive infrastructures. Immersion and subsequent operations in fragile or hostile environments need to be underpinned by enhanced awareness and behavioural competencies aimed at safety, sustainability and ultimately, survival. Our bespoke programmes are run by our ex-Special Forces Professionals and behavioural training specialists with proven track records in security and health and safety. Each course features our unique X factor, developed from the latest behavioural research findings in the NLP (neuro linguistic programming) and EI (emotional intelligence) sciences, merging case study analysis and progressive field training customised to meet the needs of each specific client. The experiential element of each course is key to providing realistic situational immersion which invokes strong emotional responses, proven to be highly effective in embedding learning. Professional individuals will benefit significantly from our specialist training courses, gaining the expertise, credibility and the leadership skills to operate effectively at the highest level. Participants gain the kind of practical, real-life experience in critical risk avoidance & management, which is specific to the region of the world and type of environment they will be operating in and the nature of the challenges they may face. Integral to all of our courses is the acquisition of hands-on situational awareness, which thereafter becomes instinctual and immediate, ensuring maximum personal protection in the field. |
VIP Security Training
The training courses build on and extend the advice being given by the police and other authorities around the world, but go into much more practical detail on how to improve security measures throughout the environment of any infrastructure, and how to deal with actual emergency situations should they occur. These intensive courses are being held in London. Contact us for details and register to be considered for the next VIP event. Training Programs SDS courses are designed for the specific threats and requirements of each project:

Ideally classes cater for 12-16 delegates and held on your premises. This is a cost effective approach and allows local issues to be addressed. Our most popular courses are half day modules of between 3 and 4 hours, but we'll discuss with you the ideal duration of your training session. All courses are Institute of Safety and Health (IOSH) registered and meet the requirements of the management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations - particularly Regulation 7 for 'competent persons'. Certificates are issued to successful delegates. Over 30,000 delegates have been successfully trained by SDS over the last 10 years Example of a typical Low Risk - Incident Controller Course
The intention of the Exercise is not so much to test the individual but to assist in formulating a practical plan. The exercise is used as a means of exploring many facets of the plan and how it would work under a number of conditions. Example: The success of the exercise depends upon the level of participation of the players. The more the players put into the exercise in the role-play, the more they will get out of it. The aim is for the exercise to create an atmosphere that will put the players under a certain amount of pressure, which will reflect how they would act in a real scenario. This in turn will assess the effectiveness of a plan, i.e.: how easy it is to follow in a stressful situation. Detail of typical Low Risk Post Room Staff Course
