Our personal safety and risk management courses have been devised by knowledgeable trainers with media industry-experience and are suitable for any broadcast situation involving lone workers, news crews, live events teams, and location productions, including:
- Sensitive news stories
- Football matches, e.g. World and European Cups
- Political and live events, e.g. G20 and G8 summits
- Protests and demonstrations
- Film locations
- Overseas events
Prime training will equip you with the skills and confidence you need to deliver your assignment safely and reduce your exposure to hostility and risk. And if you have an event that requires more specialised training, we will design additional modules to suit your criteria.
Lights, camera, action
Some courses, such as the Risk Management and Health & Safety training, are undertaken in a classroom environment and we engage delegates with interactive and challenging case studies (read about Our Approach).
But we believe there is a much more effective way to train...in the thick of it at dedicated training centres, for example the Metropolitan Police Specialist Training Centre at Gravesend, one of Europe’s leading public order training centres.
Undoubtedly, for the best results that build confidence and embed skills, there is no substitute for a dynamic learning environment in which the training is participative and highly practical. In this way, PRIMEtraining offers some of the most unique, effective courses available: conceived and developed over years of close observational contact alongside media crews, our training is widely acknowledged as the world class benchmark and is essential luggage for all media crews and journalists.
The latest where you are: the role of the media is to report what is happening, when it’s happening, and accuracy is vital. We take the same approach, liaising with key agencies including the Police Authorities, and constantly monitoring and reassessing our course content to ensure its validity and relevance to your changing needs.
PRIMEpassport
The media industry employs thousands of freelancers, all of whom, at some stage, need the skills and knowledge obtainable through training. Increasingly employers are insisting that freelancers have the relevant training before they will engage them and this must be evidenced.
Fortunately, PRIMEmedia has devised a passport scheme, covering all our courses, including our Public Order Safety Awareness course which is the only course of its kind recognised industry wide. The PRIMEpassport is your certified evidence of attendance and completion of safety courses required by the industries major organisations before they engage you.
