Multi-lingual crowd management, security course

by Mark Rowe

March 2018 saw the launch of the Mind Over Matter programme in Geneva, the first multi-lingual crowd management and security course of its kind. Some 30 students, who include security people from across Europe, undertook the first part of the five module certification which will allow them to qualify to take the professional diploma in crowd management.

Delivered in French, Pascal Viot the CEO of iSSUE and Amandine Massy the manager of the Certificate and Diploma programme worked with Mind Over Matter with all documents being translated and all delivery assessed in both French and English. Fourteen of the participants have already completed the Professional Certificate while other students are in the process of completing three more modules to take the Professional Diploma later this year.

Prof Chris Kemp, pictured, founder and Managing Director of Mind Over Matter said: ‘This is a landmark in European health, safety and crowd management education and shows that in partnership, great things can be achieved. We are already delivering this course in other European countries and hope to reach even more security professionals over the next few years.’

He returns to Switzerland next year to deliver the first module of the Diploma.
