About the Course

Impact’s Armed Robbery Awareness course will not terrorize or scare your staff, like some other courses that suppose to prepare employees for an armed robbery. Indeed such training could cause the onset of panic and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms even from staged training exercises involving violence and trauma and this can incur compensation problems for you the employer.

We do not rely on video or CD presentations as they will not prepare your staff for a traumatic event such as an armed robbery. Face to face tutoring, active role plays, ego boosting exercises and a thorough debriefing is what Impact delivers. Staff actively participate in creating scenarios for the Armed Robbery Awareness workshop component, this helps to remove anxiety and promote team building among staff. Participants role-play confrontation situations and learn valuable communication skills.

Training workbooks are supplied to all participants, staff are informally assessed through observation and participation, certificates of participation will be issue and all other training aids will be supplied by Impact. Assessment: Informally and formally by observation.
