COVID-19 has disrupted the world since 2019 and sport is no exception. It has necessitated the suspension and cancellation of sporting events and mass gatherings globally. Sporting events like other industries have had to adapt to a ‘new normal’ to ensure a safe return of sport during the pandemic.

Participants will examine the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the safety and security operations of a sporting event; the guidelines and tools from WHO, Public Health Authorities and Sport Governing Bodies; and how to plan COVID-19 protocols at sporting events.

This course is delivered in English 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.
