S-CMP Certification

Deep dive in Crisis Management, heavily hands-on driven with simulated crisis.

An S-CMP certificate demonstrates that you have the core competencies employers look for in crisis management professionals: the ability to lead a crisis team, the ability to contribute to planning and strategy, the ability to actively mitigate a crisis situation, and the ability to analyse performance and propose measures. If you are considering a career in crisis management or crisis communications, S-CMP is an important step to take towards your goal.
