When pressure is high and decisions matter most, preparedness makes the difference. At Oakwood Risk and Resilience, we help organisations strengthen their ability to manage disruption through practical, scenario-driven training and clear, actionable plans.
Oakwood Risk Training exists to build personal capability in operational resilience, crisis management, and related disciplines. Our focus is on helping individuals grow the confidence, knowledge, and practical skills they need to make sound decisions under pressure.
Whether you are new to the field or looking to take your expertise to the next level, our training is designed to be relevant, realistic, and immediately applicable. We offer both flexible distance learning courses and engaging in-person programmes, giving you the freedom to learn in a way that fits your schedule and learning style.
From introductory modules to advanced certified courses, every programme is built around real-world challenges, not just theory. Because resilience is not just something organisations need — it is something people build.
At Oakwood, we design and deliver resilience and crisis exercises that are as much about developing people as they are about testing plans. Whether you are a leader looking to sharpen your decision-making, or part of a team responsible for navigating disruption, our exercises are built to stretch, challenge, and build capability where it really matters.
We offer a range of formats, from structured table-top scenarios to immersive, high-pressure simulations. Each one is carefully designed to reflect your environment, your risks, and your responsibilities. These are not tick-box tests — they are opportunities to practise, reflect, and improve in a safe but realistic setting.
Exercising helps uncover gaps, strengthen coordination, and most importantly, give people the confidence to lead effectively when it counts.
Our consultancy services are designed to support individuals and teams in building real capability across resilience, crisis management, business continuity, and security risk. At Oakwood, we do not just hand over templated reports — we work with you to understand your environment, develop meaningful plans, and strengthen your ability to respond when it matters most.
Whether you need support developing a new business continuity plan, conducting an audit of your crisis response framework, or carrying out a detailed gap analysis, our approach is always tailored, practical, and people-focused. We bring real-world experience and a collaborative mindset to help you build solutions that actually work in practice, not just on paper.
The goal is simple: to leave you more confident, more capable, and better prepared than when we started.
Our business continuity and crisis management work is grounded in how people actually perform under stress. We design and deliver structured programmes that prepare teams to act quickly and confidently in uncertain situations. Whether you're refining existing procedures or developing a new framework, our approach is practical, focused, and informed by real-world experience.
Every organisation is different, which is why we take time to understand your environment, your people, and your risks. We work closely with you to design solutions that are relevant, workable, and aligned with your wider goals. Our team combines deep expertise with a collaborative style that focuses on building lasting capability, not just meeting requirements.
Confidence comes from preparation. Through realistic exercises, practical walkthroughs, and structured reviews, we help your teams understand their roles and build the decision-making skills needed in a crisis. From leadership to frontline teams, our sessions are designed to strengthen coordination and increase readiness across your organisation.
A strong plan is only part of the solution. What matters is how it's applied when the unexpected happens. We focus on helping your people communicate clearly, make timely decisions, and take action under pressure. Our work brings structure to uncertainty, with tools and processes that are tested before they’re needed.
From the first conversation to the final debrief, we work alongside your teams to build robust, adaptable systems. Our operational resilience services include guidance on training, testing, and improvement—so you’re always building toward greater confidence and capability. Our commitment doesn’t end at delivery. We're here for the long term.
Everything we do is tailored to you. We work with businesses across sectors, adapting our business continuity and crisis management frameworks to reflect your structure, industry, and strategic priorities. Whether we're delivering a one-off session or supporting an ongoing programme, our operational resilience services are designed to integrate seamlessly with your organisation.
We provide training for individual, teams, managers, and leaders across all areas of resilience and crisis response. Our courses are practical, scenario-based, and led by experienced facilitators. Here's a selection of the training areas we cover:
