In order to maintain the highest standards of training delivery, everyone involved in delivering a Hydra course needs to complete The Hydra Facilitators Course. Participants receive accreditation on completion.
The original course information describes a two-day course delivered through the College of Policing at various sites around the UK, requiring a recognised training qualification. Current arrangements are being confirmed; please contact us for details.
The course covers
The course covers many aspects of running a Hydra exercise, including:
- Hydra philosophy
- How to introduce an exercise
- The Hydra development process
- Managing syndicate sessions
- Managing plenary sessions
- Using Hydra techniques effectively: Hydra role-play, Diamond panel, and helpful and unhelpful phraseology
