Level 1 and Level 2 Incident Management and Incident Controller Training Courses (non-accredited versions)

Any of our nationally recognised training courses can be adapted into a non-accredited version.  Requests  for non-accredited versions of our Level 1 (one day course) and Level 2 Incident Management Courses (3 day course) are popular.  The Incident Controller Training course can also be delivered over 1-2 days depending on whether an exercise scenario is included in the training.  This means shorter training days, no formal assessments are required, no formal enrolment processes are required and also a much more cost-effective option is provided.  Non-accredited training courses are suitable for those organisations where:

• staff have limited time to commit to training away from their daily general duties
• essential parts of relevant content are still being delivered to staff members
• staff are still exposed to an exercise scenario customised to an incident likely to happen in their workplace
• staff are not under pressure to perform within formal assessment conditions during in-class training delivery
• staff are not committed to completing any post-course formal assessments after classes have finished.

Non-accredited course versions, however, mean your staff members are not formally assessed and no Statements of Attainment are issued, although a certificate of attendance can be provided.  

Please contact FutureWest Institute if you would like further information about non-accredited training courses suitable to your organisational requirements.
