Programs & Curriculum

Travel Safety & Security Seminars

Evidence-based, real-world training delivered at your location.

IHS Training provides two different types of travel safety and security seminars — one specifically designed for corporate business travelers, and one designed for people traveling on a church mission trip. All programs are delivered on-site at your location and customized to your organization's specific needs and risk profile.

Corporate Training

Travel Safety for Business Trips

IHS Training seminars are based upon real-life statistics. We've taken the issues that have repeatedly gotten travelers into trouble over the past decade and built our training courses to specifically address those issues. If they've happened repeatedly in the past, they'll happen again in the future. Our seminars are presented in a very positive, yet informative manner — intended to educate but not instill fear for traveling abroad. Our students find that they are actually much less afraid of foreign travel once they've been educated on what to look for, what to plan for, and how to stay out of trouble.

Seminar Details

IHS Travel Safety and Security Seminars generally run a half-day to accommodate a busy work schedule. We come to your facility to conduct the training in person so you don't lose your employees for several days while they travel to attend training. The total cost for the business travel safety seminar is $4,500 — which includes everything: the speaking fee and all instructor travel expenses. A study guide and emergency plan in PDF format is also provided. We place no limit on the number of people trained. We've trained as few as a dozen executives and at times well over a thousand for that same price.

Add Crisis Management Training

Many organizations find themselves unprepared when things don't go as planned. Our Crisis Management course, designed for organizational management, is an excellent complement to this seminar. We will teach your personnel how to handle any crisis situation and avoid the same costly mistakes that just about every organization makes repeatedly. IHS offers a discounted rate of just $1,500 to add this course when scheduled on subsequent days.
