The 1-day CPD accredited Crisis Communications course will focus on how to formulate a crisis management plan and how to relate the plan to both internal and external communications. The training will help you understand the steps to take in order to prepare messaging and communications plans in readiness for risk and crisis situations.

I enjoyed the course. The size of the group was small, so I could ask a lot of questions & relate it back to what I do.
