Millions of people travel every year on business or for pleasure, often to countries that have a high risk of crime and terrorism. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has developed the Know Before You Go (KBYG) programme to aid individuals or groups travelling abroad to remain safe. iSMTA has partnered with CTR High-Risk Security & Investigations Services Ltd (CTR) who is approved by the FCO to promote its guidance on travel security awareness and this e-learning course has been produced in collaboration with CTR Services in accordance with the FCO’s guidelines.
The course is broken down into easy Modules that follow your journey from start to finish and focuses on best practices to enable you to have a safe and secure trip. Each Module will guide you through practical, effective steps for remaining safe, so that by the end of the course you will have an awareness of how potentially unsafe situations arise and a suite of planned responses to such situations, should they occur.
This course is inline with the following organisation to safe guard travellers. This is achieved by our co-operation wih CTR High-Risk Secuity & Invesigations Services Ltd and the FCO Know Before You Go Scheme.
Introduction

The International Secure Minds Training Academy (iSMTA) is a descendant of Secure Minds which formed and became an Industry Qualification (IQ) Centre in November 2012. Our mission was to provide much needed specialist qualifications to those who worked overseas and in potentially hostile environments. From inception Secure Minds developed to the existing 1548 enrolled students and 44 departments spread over various qualifications and courses. In the early part of 2014, Secure Minds started to restructure as the International Secure Minds Training Academy (iSMTA) and recognised that E-Learning was a formidable and proven means of delivering high quality training globally. We have not only restructured the course menu, but also refined the delivery methods available to cater for an individual's learning style. With such a proven, robust Learning Management System (LMS) and the acceptance of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) we are able to provide a number of level 5 Awards which can be mixed and matched to form a personalised Diploma course that generates interest and promotes career development within business and security as a whole. The content is modern because all the Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are skilled and current practitioners in their fields, and share the passion to pass on their most up-to-date knowledge via our modern delivery methods. The level 5 Awards truly focus on the professional world, providing the student with an abundance of subject matter.
