ABOUT RISKA SOLUTIO

Course Directory
As a Risk Management Consulting company with a specific focus on the security industry we
are ideally positioned to provide training, technology and managerial services that perfectly
aligns with the Risk Mitigation strategy of our clients. Our experience and in-depth
knowledge of managing the physical risk exposure of large and critical infrastructure and
risk profiles of various industries in hostile environments. We are able to vertically integrate
and align Risk Mitigation recommendations down to training and deploying security staffs
and technologically enhance the mitigation strategies to provide a comprehensive and
exhaustive security blanket.

Our training courses and modules are all bespoke solutions and are developed with the
clear intention to seamlessly fit the client Mitigation Strategy. Our consultation portfolio
provides top management advice on Risk Identification, determining the risk profile and
vulnerabilities and recommending mitigation strategies. Mitigation strategies include
manpower and technology. The management of the development of the Risk Strategy,
details of the mitigation strategy and the implementation of the mitigation strategy are all
an integrated parcel offered to our clients.

Our training portfolio focusses on security related issues and covers the full organisational
spectrum from managerial level to entry level of manned security and from
recommendations as to technology required to overseeing the complete project, manpower
and technlogy.

All our training courses can be delivered at a basic, intermediate or advanced level,
dependent on the profile of the trainees and organisational requirements. Specialized
courses are presented on a modular basis if trainees cannot be removed from deployment
in large numbers. Such specialized courses are typically HAZMAT Level 1 and 2, First Aid
Level 1 and 2, Oil and Gas Security and Critical Infrastructure Protection.

Bespoke Training
Riska Solutio develop bespoke tailored courses that addresses the challenges and risks that
your business faces, providing a matching fit for your business requirement and the threat
profile of the particular site. Our Instructors are well qualified, very experienced in all fields
of training and instruction and presentation of courses are all done within the parameters of
Riska Solution uniform methodologies and internationally recognised standards.

We like to conduct a Training Needs Analysis in the first instance, and we will consult with
you to understand the skills gaps and define your business requirement, within the context
of the risks and threats you face in your particular location or industry. We will then design
and develop a training solution that bridges the skills gap and delivers the outcomes to
ensure risks are best countered and mitigated. Our value offering is that we will deliver on
subject matter expertise, quality of course content and course delivery whilst providing
essential support as all our courses are designed to meet the highest standard in line with
international security standards. Our bespoke solutions are preferably be delivered in your
location but can also be done or at our location.

In-house Training
Many companies have a need for In-House training as this is sometimes the most viable
solution to quickly address a short-term business challenge. We are capable to design and
deliver Train the Trainer solutions to create an internal capacity to deal with less
complicated and short-term training needs. Our solutions will fit the capacity and capability
of your internal training resources and manpower within the structure of your business.

Our Course Leaders and Chief Instructors are well qualified and have many years of
experience of addressing all needs in the security training industry of the Oil and Gas
industry. We will design, train and manage the In-house Training until such time as your
team is able to conduct this training independently and thereafter do regular training audits
to ensure material are updated, security trends are being implemented in the new courses
and trainers are evaluated. The audit has as objective an impartial evaluation of not only the
training material but also the course management and continuous improvement of training
delivery by evaluating the instructors.

If IESAW has such a need we are able to design this functionality for you.

Certificate Courses
Riska is aware that many Oil and Gas and Critical Infrastructure companies have significant
skills gaps in their security organisation and need a more integrated, overarching approach
to establishing expertise in specific fields of security. This in-depth knowledge of subject
matter on expert level cannot be achieved with short term courses.

We are able to develop and present an Oil and Gas Security Manager Certificate Program
that combines management skills with security skills and uses practical and easy to use tools
developed on the strong theoretical underpinning of Risk and Mitigation principles and
extensive experience of work in hostile environments that Oil and Gas and Critical
Infrastructure.

The approach to developing the Certificate Program includes combining expertise from
related security industry and managerial subject matter and experts and combining that
with the in-depth study of the client’s existing facility. The course will give the trainee a
comprehensive knowledge and understanding of not only the physical security world but
also the technologies available to the security industry, the management of risk and
management of security operations at a site.

The Certificate program is designed to ease the barriers to entry, reduces the need to arrive
with a substantial body of knowledge and puts the trainee into the workplace in reasonable
period time. The trainee’s continued mentoring and guidance can be continued as another
service on a frequency and intensity as required by the client.

SCOPE AND CONDITIONS OF PROPOSAL


This proposal is presented in three parts; the first the proposed courses, secondly the financial
section and lastly the full scope of courses in table format attached as a separate document
called Security Courses pb which will act as Annexure.

The proposal forms the basis of the future agreement that must be reached between the
parties before work commences. Failure to reach an agreement on the type of relationship,
confidentiality, intellectual property, proposed courses and modules and financials will lead
to the proposal becoming invalid and unenforceable. Both parties agree to act in good faith
with the intention of reaching an agreement that is beneficial to both parties.

Course and module durations are indicative and not directly related to the cost of the course
as training material development, evaluation papers, course management and project
management are all indirect costs. This proposal should therefore be seen as a budget price
with refinement and adjustments to be agreed upon in the written agreement. It is suggested
that the proposal will lead to the signing of a Letter of Intent or Memorandum of Agreement.

PROPOSED COURSES

An Introduction
Riska Solutio presented a comprehensive list of courses and modules (Provided as a
separate document Security Courses pb) enhancing the proposal and giving details of the
various courses. Our modules enable client to achieve specialization and this serves as the
framework of reference for all our training solutions. The purpose of this presentation is to
provide a more focused list of courses for consideration. Several issues will impact on the
prices and it should be taken note of;
1. The trainee profiles are not known; literacy, previous experience, armed or unarmed
type guards and many more.
2. The facilities, training infrastructure, training aids are not known.
3. The location of training is not known, instructor’s safety, accommodation, travel,
visas and work permit, relief system and many more issues impact on the price.
Having said that, Riska is reluctant to price the proposal until the details of the above have
been sorted out. A more detailed discussion will be given in the Financial section of this
proposal.

Security training is based on certain building blocks and failure to provide the appropriate
levels knowledge to trainees in the buildup to their total profile not only exposes the
company to unacceptable risks but also unnecessarily place the lives of security staff and
other employees at risk. Such an example could be the failure to recognize an explosive
device which is then allowed onto the protected site.

Lastly, we also wish to highlight that we offer team training to clients that can be done only
once the individuals of the team have been adequately trained. Such an example is the
Operations or Control Room that consists of several security staffs that must work as a team
under a manager or shift leader. This team training requires a set of Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP’s) that may or may not be available at the client site. Riska is able not only
to train the team on the proper functioning of the Operations/Control Room but also in
drafting the SOP’s if no such SOP’s are available.

SECURITY COURSES PORTFOLIO ASSUMPTIONS

1. Regardless of the Organisational level, the trainee must first successfully complete
Manned Guarding levels A to C before being considered for intermediate and
advanced training. All intermediate and advanced courses then pre-suppose the
successful completion of the entrance level of basic levels of each Organisational
level
2. If existing Supervisors and Managers are not to attend the below mentioned route, a
shortened and more compact course or modules for managers and supervisors can be
considered to acquaint them with the basic guarding skills required. This should
probably not be allowed for Oil and Gas and Airport deployments.
3. All extra subjects and courses (indicated in table in bold, blue font) courses are
presented in modular fashion, allowing trainees to attend courses as the work schedule
or recruitment levels require.
4. Course minimum attendees will be determined prior to project schedule being fixed.
Costing is done on the presumption that class sizes will not exceed 20 and class
minimum attendance numbers are met.
5. Accreditation was not a requirement but will apparently be considered at a later stage.
It is recommended that First Aid (Level 1 and 2) and HAZMAT (Level 1 and 2)
comply with international standards and that a certificate is issued to ensure uniform
standards of training.
6. Due to the many uncertainties Riska Solutio reserve the right to revisit the schedules,
numbers of trainees and financial offering made in this document.
7. Courses are designed to either be suitable for first entrants and is of longer duration or
for experienced security staff. The pricing table reflects the difference.
8. The two options of courses; New Entrants versus Experienced trainees necessitates
that the Experienced trainees pass the entrance assessment of Riska Solutio and
failure to pass will automatically place the applicant to the New Entrants category. It
is essential that this is strictly enforced as the whole course could be jeopardized by
trainees unable to cope with the increased pace and volume of work which is
characteristic of the Experienced Trainee Option.
9. Riska uses the attached Security Courses document of courses and modules to
construct courses that best suit your needs.
