What you’ll learn (clear, practical skills)
Performance Evidence: Demonstration in Action
The course ensures you can:
- Lead the ECO before, during, and after an incident: Prepare for predicted risks, run ECO meetings, and conduct drills.

- Direct and communicate under pressure: Assign roles, control access to affected areas, record actions, and keep all parties informed.
- Ensure occupant safety: Identify evacuation assembly areas, check for vulnerable individuals, and monitor progress.
- Work with and brief emergency services: Handover incident control efficiently and accurately.
