Sporting event organisers have a responsibility for calculating the safe capacity of their venues. Any venue such as a stadium, training site, fan zone, temporary structure… used for a sporting event will have a required safety certificate which states the safe capacity of that venue.

In this course, participants will be introduced to the concept of calculating safe capacity for a sporting venue based on the best practices and research developed by the Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA).

This course is delivered online via e-Learning using the ICSS’s Learning Management System (LMS). The participants are responsible for managing their own learning over the three (3) week duration.

Participants are required to complete the following learning activities:

• Video Lectures: Using self-study participants must watch a series of pre-recorded online video lectures covering the knowledge of facts, concepts and theories related to the course subject matter.
• Guest Lectures: Participants must complete a series of guest lectures about the course subject matter. These sessions will provide an added value offering real world applications, lessons learned, insights, and best practices how sport safety and security practitioners have delivered safe and secure sporting events.
  
• Course Knowledge Evaluation: Participants must complete a course knowledge evaluation administered via a series of multiple-choice questions of the course subject matter. Participants must obtain a minimum passing grade of 75%.

Minimum estimated total learning time is 15 hours approximately.

Upon successful completion of all course requirements, participants will be eligible to receive an internationally recognised certificate of completion entitled ‘Award’ in ‘Calculating Venue Safe Capacity’.

The course fees amount to $ 350.00 US Dollars.
