Course development
Keith developed the courses “Introduction to .." and "Applied Crowd Science”, over the last 30+ years. During his PhD research into Crowd Dynamics, he started teaching following an invite from the UK Cabinet Office EmergencyPlanning College (EPC) in 1999 and continued until 2014 at the EPC. During that time he was a visiting Professor at Bucks New University (High Wycombe) and developed a Foundation Degree module (Introduction to Crowd Science) and a BA (Hons) module (Applied Crowd Science). In 2014, Keith joined Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) as the Professor of Crowd Science and developed a MSc in Crowd Safety and Risk Analysis (over 90 students joined the course). This course was designed specifically for anyone planning or managing crowds in places of public assembly.
In 2018, Keith developed the Public Event Commanders course (PEC's) for the UK College of Policing. That course became mandatory training for all UK Public Event Commanders and is currently delivered in New South Wales (Australia) and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (India). His crowd safety and crowd science courses are accredited via Highfield.
Early in 2020, with the onset of the Covid-19 global pandemic, it became clear that the "bricks and mortar" model of University teaching programmes would need to change. Keith left MMU in May 2020 to focus on developing online course.

Event Management (Nick Eade)
The model of Higher Education in the UK is not working. Grossly overpaid senior management, mainly out of touch, whilst students are saddled in debt. Some courses offering 10 hours a week contact with uninterested tutors who are only teaching as they are unable to gain employment in industry and more and more graduates are not working in the sector they studied. In this course I offer attempts to change this. An interactive, accredited and endorsed course can only help you achieve your goals. Whether you aspire to work at festivals, conferences, sports events or wish to be more aware of your surroundings at events then this is the course for you! Please see the content below for the different sessions.
1. Introduction Nick Eade
2. Introduction to Event Management as an Academic Discipline
3. Disability and Welfare
4. Risk, Safety and Legislation within the Industry
5. Wedding - Planning and Design
6. Event Logistics
7. Global Sports Events
Level 3 Crowd Safety Course (Introduction to Crowd Science)
We produced the Level 3 Crowd Safety Course due to the overwhelming demand for an introduction and overview version of the Level 5 Crowd Safety - Applied Science Course.
"Keith’s Level 3 FCS gives a fantastic overview of the key aspects to crowd safety. This is a perfect course for people embarking on their crowd safety academic route, or people wanting a great refresher. The content is informative and flows well between each module. The assessment process is well thought out and ensures you have developed an in depth understanding of the subject matter. I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to embark on their academic journey, or people for whom academic writing is a scary thought."

NCS4 Crowd Safety (USA Version of the Level 3 Crowd Safety Course)
We produced the USA Version (yards/feet) of the Level 3 Crowd Safety Course.The National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4) partnered with us in 2021 to bring this body of work to the United States. The partnership aims to address capability gaps in crowd behaviour sciences in public assembly areas, sports and entertainment venues, and communities. The primary goal is to educate practitioners on the essential elements of crowd safety and risk analysis. In this course, we cover the core crowd science and risk analysis tools with their application for planning and managing places of public assembly.

Level 5 Crowd Safety Course - Applied Crowd Science
The CS5 course was developed, over the last 30 years, and taught around the world.
"Keith’s Level 5 Crowd Safety 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. 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."

Public Event Commanders (PEC's - Police trainers only)
The PEC's course content was delivered to UK, Australian and Indian Police academies (Public Events Commanders course - PEC's) and we continue to work with Police colleges around the world.
Train the Trainer course
We have a number of trainers around the world (Holland/Belgium, Australia, Isreal, USA). If you want to become one of our trainers the process is to first complete the Level 3 and Level 5 courses. We then offer 1-1 training sessions and sales/marketing support. Those sessions run over several days (100% online via zoom) at your pace. We will teach you the background and theory behind the courses and how to tailor the materials to your specific areas of interest
