LEVEL 5 CROWD SAFETY: applied crowd science

The Crowd Safety: Applied Crowd Science course is a Level 5 qualification (Skills Education Group). On this course, we cover the crowd science and risk analysis tools with their application for planning and managing places of public assembly in depth. There are 18 modules to this course. We expand on all the themes in the Level 3 Fundamentals course and provide an extensive range of documents for your studies. This course includes the 3D Crowds crowd visualising software. 

 Modules include:

• The DIM- ICE Risk model
• Crowd Dynamics & Crowd Risks (Static & Moving)
• Crowd Modelling for Events
• RAMP Analysis
• Crowd Monitoring
• Introduction to Queuing Systems
• Crowd Risk Analysis
• Site Design Considerations
• Event Egress Analysis
• Optimising Emergency Responses
• Crowd Simulations
• Decision Analysis
• Emergency Situations

This course can be taken today via the e-learning system where you can navigate through the course at your own pace of around maximum 25 hours learning. Alternatively, you can join a 3 day in classroom or online learning group hosted by ASFI. 

To pass this course, the learner must complete all modules via watching the videos provided or attending the face to face 3 day course. This course is marked via 2 assessments: 

The first assessment paper is an essay discussing the development, application and a critical analysis of crowd science (crowd modelling and crowd dynamics). The minimum word count is 1,500 words. There is no upper limit to the word count.  

The second assessment paper is an essay discussing the development, application, and uses of the various models discussed in the lectures. You must include examples of the modelling tools for an event including a critical analysis of their application. DIM-ICE, Density and flow rates, Risk and Congestion Mapping, RAMP Analysis, Decision Support Analysis, related to an event of your choice. Again, the minimum word count is 1,500 words. There is no upper limit to the word count.  

For both assessments you need to reach a minimum pass rate of 50%.
