We all hope that we are not caught up in a major incident, with lives being in danger. However, major incidents and terrorist attacks do sadly occur, and these courses will enable individuals and organizations to prepare as much as possible in order to respond in an effective manner should the need arise.” Well-Respected organizations Similarly, Director Kevin Jewell says: “As the need to have comprehensive and validated response plans becomes ever more important, 3PX are delighted to be partnering with PerpetuityARC Training. The world that we live in today means that simply ‘having a plan’ to deal with major incidents is not good enough and it is righty expected that organizations are as prepared as possible.” “Realistic testing and exercising of plans, whether it be ‘table-top’, ‘command post’ or ‘live play’, is the only way to gain assurance, by ensuring they are current and understood. We are confident that the courses offered will enhance further PerpetuityARC Training’s reputation for delivering credible security training and benefit the well-respected organizations they already work closely with.” Credible security training Upon completion of each course, learners will receive a 3PX PerpetuityARC Training Certificate Linx International Group Director Sarah Hayward-Turton, APP, states: “With the anticipated Protect Duty, legislation changes mean organizations will have to demonstrate their mitigation measures against terrorist attacks. For many, a fresh look at testing and exercising their plans will be an essential part of this." "I’m very proud that Linx has partnered with the experts in this field, 3PX, and together we can make the training as accessible as possible for organizations of all sizes.” Upon completion of each course, learners will receive a 3PX PerpetuityARC Training Certificate as well as 4 formal CPE points.
