Sampling

Customised training curriculums designed to fit the client’s operational needs.

The training can be delivered at the client’s premisses of choice, using the client’s own equipment, or at one of the SIBCRA Pro training venues in Europe (the Netherlands, Italy, Czech Republic, Republic of Serbia) and Turkey (Istanbul, Adana) using SIBCRA Pro Responder Sampling Kits. The training is provided through interactive demos, table- tops, live action operational scenarios utilising CBRN simulants and authentic agents, discussions, e-learning platform. The training sites in the Czech Republic and Republic of Serbia utilise authentic (live) CBRN agents. SIBCRA Pro instructors are with the real-life experience of the subject.
