tools for managing personal security abroad in the frame of aid operations.\n• Skills for managing personal security abroad in the frame of aid operations.\n\nThese 3 components are used under the acronym AKS.\n\n**Training components**\n\nOur programme has four mutually reinforcing components:\n\n• Theoretical sessions, aimed at consolidating methods (pre-departure checklist, do's and don'ts in violent situations, etc.);\n\n• Practical sessions, aimed at training in basic practices (first aid/trauma, radio protocols, etc.);\n\n• Simulations, which aim to crystallize the use of the above-mentioned methods and practices in a tangible framework;\n\n• Validation and feedback sessions (debriefings and key takeaways).\n\nDifferent types of pedagogical tools and resources can be associated with these components. \n\n**Topics addressed:**\n\n• Personal security\n\n• Preparation of the mission\n\n• First Aid/Trauma\n\n• Communications (GSM, satellite phone, radio)\n\n• Threats when traveling in vehicles\n\n• Movement planning\n\n• Orientation\n\n• Personal risk assessment\n\n• Incident reporting\n\n• Hibernation, Evacuation, Relocation\n\n• Sexual aggression\n\n• Mental Health\n\n• Weapons in the field\n\n• Hostage situation and kidnapping\n\n• Dealing with aggressive behavior\n\n• Mines, UXO, IED\n\n• Security in premises\n\n\n**Criteria**\n\nActive participation is attested by the Training team on the following basis:\n\n• Active engagement through questions and comments or lessons learned from own experience\n\n• Personal commitment, as evidenced by sharing lessons learned from own experience and/or participating candidly during simulations' debriefings. \n\n• Answers to quiz at the end of theoretical sessions, designed to prompt self-awareness about one's progress. \n\nThe badge holder has also demonstrated progress through the simulations in all three key course objectives:\n\n• Awareness of key issues (preparedness, specificity of contexts, personal responsibility, interpersonal aspects), as evidenced through the various exercises, simulations and debriefings, and as evaluated by OSC's Training team;\n\n• Knowledge of key documents and principles (personal security, security strategies, security policy, security plans), as evidenced by the participant's growing reference to them during the program;\n\n• Understanding of basic skills (orientation, dealing with aggressive behavior) as evidenced during simulations and debriefings.\n\n**How to join this training**\n\nYou can book online via our website https://othersolutions.net/
