About the workshop

Our experienced Human Factors trainers will work closely with you to create a bespoke Search and Rescue workshop according to your needs, including any particular topics or problem areas you may have already identified. 

Since we are a smaller number of people at our workshops, we include a series of experiential learning exercises. This means that when you join one of our workshops, you will experience the benefits and pitfalls on your own body and mind, creating a much more effective form of learning.

When booking a workshop for your search and rescue operation at NaviMinds, you will receive a bespoke programme customised to suit you and your organisation’s needs. 

We include curated materials for your SAR organisation that will help you introduce the topic of Human Factors.

Our experienced team of Human Factors trainers is dedicated to providing the highest quality training possible.

We guarantee that our workshops on Human Factors will be an eye-opening and thought-provoking learning experience for your Search and Rescue team.

At NaviMinds, we deliver Human Factors and resource management training to various safety-critical industries. We are specialists in Human Factors and have vast experience designing lessons and workshops for the maritime industry.
