Supporting your workforce's emergency and disaster management training goals

Provide additional support for your workforce, who will gain practical skills in crisis communication planning and decision-making, and learn to operate in unstable and unpredictable environments with decisiveness.

What is the Graduate Certificate in Emergency and Disaster Management?

The Graduate Certificate in Emergency and Disaster Management is an online course designed to provide employees working in emergency services and the healthcare industry to gain practical skills in crisis planning and decision-making, with agile leadership.

When emergency situations do occur, leadership is vital, as effective leaders will be able to operate in unpredictable circumstances, making decisions that ultimately protect individuals and communities who find themselves on the front-line of a man-made or natural disaster.
