Everyone over at our Madison School of Professional Development has been working to launch new professional development credentials. In addition to the recent launch of the new Quality Management Certifications, we’re proud to announce that a new, self-guided Crisis Management program is now live!
In the findings from recent survey highlighted in Forbes, researchers found that only 49% of businesses have formal crisis plans. The same report, though, emphasized that training in crisis management is at an all time high and that leaders with crisis management training and experience are in high demand.
To serve this need, this 1 hour, 0.10 CEU bearing certificate program surveys crisis management, focusing on effective crisis communication, crisis leadership best practices, and corporate security principles and applications. Participants can work at their own pace and complete the program in 1 sitting, or take up to two weeks and chisel away at the course requirements.
The new certificate is part of the Homeland Security, Safety Management, and Corporate Security offerings at the MSPD and can be located under the Emergency Management menu. Learn more about the Crisis Management Certificate.
