  • How is an online course different from an in-person course?
    While the experience of a course online and in-person are different, the outcomes are the same. Safer Edge has trained thousands of humanitarian and development professionals on courses since 2016. Our Learning and Development team worked hard to retain all required learning objective while making the course more accessible and inclusive.
  • What do you mean by e-learning?
    E-Learning is a specific type of online learning where participants are able to engage with the course through quizzes, activities, scenarios, and a range of media. E-learning is different from remote training (such as through Skype or Zoom) and online videos or slides.
  • I have a very poor internet connection. Can I still take the course?
    Yes! Using our iOS and Android apps, participants can download the HEAT modules when they have access to internet, complete it offline and their progress will automatically sync when they reconnect to the internet.
  • Our organisation would like to enrol a large number of staff. How do we do that?
    If your organisation has 5 or more people you wish to register for a HEAT course, we can easily register them in bulk. We offer discounts for all groups over 5. Contact Safer Edge directly at operations@saferedge.com to register or learn more.
  • How long do I have to complete the course?
    We realise that different people learn at different speeds and each of us will have different circumstances which influence how quickly we can complete the course. We encourage everyone to the course within a month. However, each course purchased will remain on Safer Edge Learn for a year.
  • Can different staff in the same organisation take different types of online HEAT courses?
    Absolutely! We offer 3 types of online HEAT (online, blended and blended with simulation) to offer organisation more options for training more staff who need HEAT. The type of HEAT course chosen will depend on your budget, location and availability but you have assurance that all staff are reaching the same learning objectives.
  • Our drivers have varied literacy levels and English isn't their first language. Can they still use e-learning?
    Absolutely! We designed Safe Driver Training to be engaging and interactive for a variety of literacy levels. While participants will need to be literate, the learning is mainly auditory and visual to suit varied language and literacy ability.

  • How can a women's security course be for everyone? Isn't it just for women?
    Every person's safety is a priority no matter their gender. But, we know that gender does play a role in violence and crime that has to be considered. Some people may even be more vulnerable than women due to being transgender or LGBTQ+. Our course considers this and the learning applies to people of every gender. Men, or those who identify with a non-traditional gender, will learn how gender plays a role in their own safety and that of their colleagues. No one is safe until we all are safe.

  • Who should take this course and how often?

However, CMT deputies, the organisation executive, and leadership in country offices would also benefit from the training. We encourage organisations toconduct a Crisis Management Training at least once a year.
  • Why does carbon reduction matter?
    Humanitarian and development organisations can make a profound contribution to carbon reduction by ensuring that everyone in our organisations understands its importance and their contribution. This course helps staff understand both how they can meet donor requirements in their work as well as contribute personally to carbon reduction.
