Who is the training for and what will you learn?
The Essential crisis management course is for the wider crisis and business continuity team. Attendees will learn why crisis communication is so important and the role they may need to play when supporting the communications team, senior leaders and spokespeople
By the end of the course, which takes around an hour to complete, delegates will have a good understanding of the need for timely, compassionate and authentic communication – both internally and externally.
For some, this will be an introduction to crisis management, while for others, it will be a timely refresher.
The Spokesperson – essential crisis management course, is designed for anyone who could be asked to represent their organisation and face the media during the crisis. On this course, we will guide you through everything you need to know about facing the media when you are in the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
And we have a bespoke option that allows you to put your plans and spokespeople to the test with current working journalists.
