Control Room Operations Management Courses
Two-Day CROM Courses
At the heart of an organisation’s response to operations and incidents is a Control Room. Event Managers and Control Room personnel need to be capable and effective in managing information, prioritising and taking decisions then communicating the plan. Control rooms often bring together multiple disciplines for short periods, with limited shared experience of managing incidents — making it challenging to operate as a cohesive and well-practised team.
Why You Need a CROM Course
Our course will provide you with the right knowledge and opportunity to develop skills with a simulation exercise and with workbook resources to develop and embed improved procedures in your Control Room. The course has been developed and is led by experienced professionals from emergency management, security, and event backgrounds, bringing together expertise from UK and global incident management and control room operations.
After completing the course, participants will have gained practical experience along with the supporting knowledge and skills required to operate effectively. This enables control rooms to function more efficiently and helps reduce the operational and reputational impact of incidents. Delegates leave the course equipped to confidently design and operate within a control room environment that supports effective Command, Control, and Communications (C3).
If you or your employees are looking for an entry level course option, our Logging and Information Management course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to record information effectively, share information using industry good practice tools and give you access to our extensive experience and resources. We believe in learning through doing, so you will get plenty of role practice experience.
