Level 5 Introduction to Crowd Science
"Keith’s Level 5 ICS course was the first course that I had undertaken which contained ‘academic’ writing. Keith made me feel at ease and helped me through the process very well. The course content was in depth and informative, with a number of fantastic ‘real life’ scenarios. Unlike many courses, Keith reflects on his experiences rather than a number of hypothetical scenarios. As a result of this course, I have enrolled onto the MSc Crowd Safety & Risk Analysis programme at Manchester Metropolitan University. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone working in places of public assembly. No matter what your role, we all have a part to play in crowd safety."

We have developed an eLearning version of the “Introduction to Crowd Safety and Crowd Risk Analysis" short course we run around the world . This online, self-paced course teaches the theory and applications of crowd science for major events. Successful completion of this on-line course can be used as an Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) route for entry to the MSc in Crowd Safety and Risk Analysis at Manchester Metroplitan University. Each topic below is hyperlinked to a page of indicative content. The course support book can be found on this link.
Here is a link to delegate quotes from the face-to-face courses.

There are 17 core modules in the “Introduction to Crowd Safety and Risk Analysis” eLearning course. Each topic covers an aspect of crowd science, crowd dynamics, crowd risk analysis, crowd safety and crowd/event modelling. The course is an approved training programme from the International Institue of Risk and Safety Management.
The short course is in the same format and style as the online MSc in Crowd Safety and Risk Analysis at Manchester Metroplitan University, also written by Prof. Still.
