Introduction to Situational Awareness and Observation Skills
This course introduces situational awareness as a practical skill rather than a tactical concept. Learners are taught how to notice what is happening around them, understand what observations may indicate, and recognize when conditions deviate from normal. The course emphasizes observing objectively, avoiding assumptions, and documenting factual information, reinforcing how strong observation skills support prevention, early escalation, and accurate reporting in everyday security work.
