Today’s threat continuum is complex and evolving.

Do you have what it takes to keep spectators and performers in stadiums and arenas safe?

Special Event Security is a highly-specialized niche in today’s multibillion-dollar sports and entertainment industry. The threat of terrorism itself keeps venue directors up at night. Add the presence of COVID-19, and safeguarding special events suddenly brings new challenges for sporting and concert venues like never before. 

The knowledge that comes from the ICC’s Sport & Special Event Security certificate is intended to combat these challenges and more. The course gives an extensive overview of venue operations, with a focus on ensuring the protection of enclosed spaces containing a high density of people.
