About this course
Who is this course for?
| Museum professionals | are the ideal audience for the Global Certificate Course in Emergency Preparedness for Museum Collections, with a focus on those working in UK museums, where 1 in 5 museums have reported a major incident in the past 5 years (Museums Association, 2020). |
| Curators, conservators, and collections managers | who handle and care for cultural heritage objects are particularly at risk from natural disasters, theft, and human error, with the UK's National Trust reporting a 15% increase in insurance claims for cultural heritage objects in 2020 (National Trust, 2020). |
| Those with responsibility for emergency planning and response | are also key targets, with the UK's Museums Association estimating that 75% of museums have no formal emergency plan in place (Museums Association, 2019). |
| Individuals with a passion for cultural heritage preservation | and a desire to protect and conserve cultural objects for future generations are also ideal candidates, with many UK museums offering emergency preparedness training as part of their staff development programs. |
