Inside a course
A sample from the security management foundations: SEM202, Checkpoints. Click through the outline.
Checkpoints
Distinguish checkpoint types and conduct yourself so that encounters stay routine.
Understanding the landscape
Why checkpoints exist, who runs them and what they are looking for, so the encounter is read correctly before it starts.

In Arabic and in English.
Twelve courses run fully in Arabic, including the free introductions and the Syria series. The learner chooses the language at the syllabus, and it stays fixed through the exercises, the knowledge check and the certificate.
Enrolment
Introductions are free with an account. Organisations can take seats for a whole team on one account, with a standing NGO rate.
