New Course Now Available!

Share:

We now offer a course in Awareness Training for ALL MUSEUM EMPLOYEES, DOCENTS, AND VOLUNTEERS! It is also suitable for onboarding new employees, and as an annual refresher course for all staff.

This Awareness Training course is designed to provide all museum staff, including volunteers, docents, and visitor services staff, with a comprehensive understanding of how museums operate and the vital role they play in maintaining a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment. Consider this course a great staff orientation tool for new hires and as an annual refresher course for those seasoned staff members.

This course is badly needed. In my forty years as a consultant to nearly 1000 museums and my eight years as Executive Director of Protection Services for a major million square foot large city art museum, I learned first-hand that employees and volunteers unfamiliar with working in a high security environment can lose keys, leave high security doors unlocked, paint smoke detectors, and wreak havoc with your security program in many ways.

This short program taken online using any phone, tablet, or computer is designed to be presented as part of the onboarding process on the first day of employment or volunteering or as part of the docent training program. This is the first and only training program of its type.

I received an email from a museum security director who asked me to clarify a comment I had made about the Museum Security Department Policy Manual being the basis for a museum’s security program. OK, here goes. Several years ago, I came to the conclusion that the museums that I surveyed in my consulting business and that received my highest scores and my greatest praise all had qualify policy manuals and those who I rated

How Can I Get Free or Low-Cost Supplemental Training?

There are several ways that you can get free or low-cost supplemental training for your security and museum staff. They include: Some of these groups won’t actually teach the class for you but will train your trainer who can teach the class. Others will provide the training for you.
