Training

Our approach: Developing a set of tools for aid and development workers to prepare effectively for the management of security in their environment.

Full presential trainings may no longer be an option in some areas, but the need for such has not abated. In particular, as National Staff is bound to take on more responsibilities, they will need to be empowered in various ways. We believe that the use of developing technology, if made simple and efficient, is essential to maintain capacity of aid workers and partners in the field in the future. However, we do our best to expand our capacity to offer presential mode in many remote locations.

Training

Our approach

Whether through their security or development backgrounds, and sometimes both, OSC’s team has substantive experience working in degraded security environments. The vast majority of our trainers have endured and have had to manage security incidents. This has infused our approach to security and is at the heart of all of our trainings.

We believe that:

► Each incident is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to security, only good practice.
► Insecurities are best approached through preparedness.
► Preparing against threats works best when knowing yourself.
► Trainings should empower people.

« The security training was a success. OTHER SOLUTIONS has a great team of trainers; their experience and knowledge in security matters are 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

« The 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 relatively short period of only three days. Stress levels ran high in the simulations which I found very useful and well delivered. The 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. » Curt
