What they say
The security training was a success. OTHER SOLUTIONS has a great team of trainers; their experience and knowledge in security matters is remarkable. It was a fulfilling experience for me and the team at HD. Thanks to OSC for all their help in coordinating the training!
Mary,
Center for Humanitarian DialogueThe PFST by Other Solutions Consulting I participated in near Paris was very well run by a small team of trainers. The training exceeded my expectations and I was positively surprised how the Other Solutions crew managed to get everyone fully engaged in the relative short period of only three days. Stress levels ran high in the simulations which I found very useful and well delivered. The added bonus was that we also had a very competently delivered First Aid Training completed at the same time. I will certainly recommend this PFST to others in my network.
