The Emergency Planning College is a world-renowned, UK Cabinet Office-approved provider of national resilience training.
We are the United Kingdom's centre for civil protection issues, and the only training organisation with a multi-agency focus. We ensure organisations and countries are ready for any eventuality, whether natural disaster, major accident or deliberate sabotage.
We train 5,000 people each year at our state-of-the-art training venue, as well as locations throughout the UK and across the globe.
Our resilience training covers a wide range of related topics from public safety and risk assessment, to detailed emergency planning and recovery, business continuity and nuclear incidents. We combine theoretical knowledge with hands-on, real-time disaster simulation exercises.
