At Travel&Risk we encourage all to Travel Safe! That often includes preparation and planning before departure and conscious decision making while abroad – especially when traveling to countries where there is a risk of for example political unrest, natural disasters or where crime is high.
On our online one-day course in travel safety, participants not only get a bunch of concrete tools; they also learn a process that lets the individual's risk understanding and awareness find its proper place. Throughout the day, you will be taught by one of our experienced instructors together with a small group of participants. The training consists of instructor-led sessions, group exercises, and online scenario‑based training that gives you practical experience in handling the most likely critical incidents. The course focuses on establishing a mindset that enables participants to recognize and act on risks associated with international travel. The focus is on establishing a mindset that makes it possible to recognize and act on risks in connection with travel abroad. Good choices well in advance will give everyone a better opportunity to keep their primary focus on work.
Please note that this course does not include first aid training, as is the case for our in‑person Travel Safe course. Instead, it includes a lesson on travel medicine and health‑related risks associated with travel.
The course is focused on travel to medium-risk destinations. A medium-risk destination can be based on crime levels, isolation, deprivation of resources, challenges from authorities, natural hazards and other types of risk. We recommend our HEAT-course for travelers to high-risk destinations.
Travel Safe Online will be conducted in English unless alle participants are comfortable with Danish.
Through a learning design focused on reflection and qualifying prior experience, participants develop a mindset that allows them to assess risks and security rationally—without creating unnecessary fear.
Participants learn a range of practical tools that increase their sense of safety and security. This toolbox enables them to act with their own safety in mind, both in everyday travel situations and in the event of critical incidents.
Personal security is primarily about behavior. With the right mindset and the right tools, participants adopt behaviors during travel that optimize safety while making them better equipped to perform their work.
The course is designed for employees who do not normally work with security but need to be equipped to handle travel-related risks on their own.
Participants are typically engineers, development consultants, researchers, and sales professionals who travel for work to areas where the company does not have its own representation or security organization.
Often, many participants are highly experienced travelers and find that the course provides a framework for qualifying and enhancing their previous experience.
The day includes practical elements in the form of scenario training to ensure knowledge transfer. The course is constructed based on the best principles of adult learning and uses reflection, discussion, plenaries and more to enhance the learning experience.
To participate on the course, a laptop with camera and microphone and a stable internet connection are required.
"A big thank you for an incredibly interesting, exciting, and rewarding course. You are truly top professionals, and I can only give my highest recommendations.
I hope that more of my traveling colleagues will have the chance to learn and experience these important topics."
Johnny Mortensen, Blue Water Shipping
