About the course
Nobel Group delivers civil-defence training for three groups of participants. Management is responsible for organising measures, planning and command. The personnel of civil-protection formations prepare to act as part of a formation. Other employees learn what to do on a warning signal and how to protect themselves. The volume and frequency of training differ in each case and follow the organisation's civil-defence category and the participants' functions. The three programmes are set out below: identify the group your employees belong to and contact us, and we will match the programme and agree its volume.
- No prior training is required. Group composition and training volume are agreed according to the organisation's civil-defence category and the participants' roles.
- A knowledge check on completion. For Level 2 the official programme provides for final testing.

Frequently asked questions
Level 1 is for those responsible for organising civil defence. Level 2 is for employees assigned to civil-protection formations. Level 3 is for everyone else. Where an organisation has all three groups, the programmes are agreed separately for each.
Because there is not one. The official programme sets 40 academic hours for the training of formation personnel and for organisations assigned a civil-defence category; in other cases the topics and volume are formed according to the category of trainee. Publishing a single figure for everyone would be wrong.
