Course Overview
A control on simulation-based competence assessment that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Most security failures involving this area of corporate security practice exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a security procedure for the wider corporate security practice agenda as they go. Practitioner evidence points the same way: simulation-based competence assessment improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants leave with a method for this aspect of corporate security practice, not a set of opinions about it. They leave able to brief senior management on this strand of corporate security practice in terms that support a decision. Most organisations already have a policy on simulation-based competence assessment; far fewer can show it working. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this area of corporate security practice. The final session converts the week's work on the practice within corporate security practice into commitments with owners and dates.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Build the security operating procedures governing simulation-based competence assessment.
Build the reporting on simulation-based competence assessment that senior management can act on.
Define the scope and boundaries of simulation-based competence assessment so that responsibility for it is unambiguous.
Assess the current state of simulation-based competence assessment against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.
Review simulation-based competence assessment after each incident, exercise and change of threat.
Assess the threat picture relevant to simulation-based competence assessment rather than a generic one.
Who Should Attend
Facility and site managers accountable for protection of simulation-based competence assessment.
