United Nations Department of Safety & Security Courses

The United Nations Department of Safety & Security (UNDSS) offers free, on-line training is four course areas:

• Basic Security in the Field II
• Advanced Security in the Field
• Preparing and Responding to Active Shooter Incidents
• Information Security Awareness Training

Registering for the courses requires only that you provide your Name, Nationality, and E-mail Address.

While I have completed all of the UNDSS courses, I found the 'Information Security Awareness Training' to be of the greatest overall value. For someone deploying to a unstable area of the world, the Field Security courses might take precedence.

The Field Security courses are available in:

•  Arabic
•  Chinese
•  English
•  French
•  Russian
•  Spanish

If you are looking for a new security awareness training opportunity, the UNDSS courses are definitely worth considering.

A UNDSS certification of achievement is provided upon completion of the course and passing the final quiz.
