- Anyone from corporate executives, government employees, humanitarian aid workers, emergency workers and individuals traveling for scholarly purposes or for pleasure can enroll in a course on travel security training. Many government offices and corporations have made travel security training mandatory for their employees and personnel. This benefits the individuals as well as the organization or corporation they represent. Courses are available either in person or online.
- Being informed on how to handle difficult or violent situations while traveling can help you remain physically unharmed and keep your assets safe. Travel security training helps companies devise or update existing travel safety plans and policies for employees who travel on business. Having plans in place helps organizations monitor the social and political conditions of the places their employees or personnel are conducting business or providing aid.
- Routinely covered topics in these courses are travel preparation, personal safety, street and hotel safety, heightened awareness and emergency/evacuation procedures. Many travel security training courses also provide instruction in areas such as defensive driving, how to handle a hostile environment, espionage, surveillance detection and what to do in a kidnapping.
