| The Akkon University of Human Sciences is expanding its offerings: Starting in the winter semester of 2024/25, the university will launch new certificate courses for continuing education in the field of humanitarian aid and civil protection. These practice-oriented courses are aimed at professionals from the emergency services, fire service, disaster management, and related fields. They offer a flexible and academically sound opportunity for professional qualification. Participants can take modules from the "Management in Hazard Prevention B.Sc." program and gain practical insights into topics such as civil protection, event security, and hazard prevention.
Academic training and entry into studies Prof. Dr. Andreas Bock, President of Akkon University, said: "With the new certificate courses, we not only offer in-depth continuing education, but also make it easier for interested students to enter an academic program. Because successfully completed modules can be credited toward a future degree program, participants save valuable time should they later decide to study at Akkon University." Certificate in Hazard Prevention Planning from winter semester 2024/25 One of the first certificates offered is the "Certificate in Emergency Response Planning." It comprises three modules that can be completed in block format. Topics include procurement management, demand planning, and financing and controlling in emergency response.
