ACT Awareness e-learning and ACT App FAQs

Equally exciting is the new ACT app for smartphones and tablets. Everything you need to help protect your business against terrorism (for business users only).
The app is an easily accessible information platform and provides potentially life-saving advice and the steps to follow should a terrorist attack ever happen.
It tells you what you need to do to help protect your staff, customers and members of the public, making sure your business is adequately prepared for any eventuality.
Having the right information to hand is always useful, but it becomes vital should you ever find yourself involved in a serious incident.
Key topics covered include:
- course overviews
- crowded place guidance
- security advice by sector
- security and incident checklists and templates
- response plans

The SCORM version of the course will allow you to track the progress of your employees. You will need your own learning management system (LMS) in order to do that.
Learning management systems can be downloaded for free if you have technical staff able to configure them. Many LMS providers offer subscription services, and these can be used if you do not have the internal resource required to manage an internal LMS.
Some browsers restrict videos from automatically playing to reduce the annoyance of unwanted video advertising. When used in such a browser, the course will detect this and provide a play button when required to initiate the video sections.
You should consult you IT team or internal ACT contact. Corporate networks differ greatly in their configuration, and there could be security measures in place that adversely affect the use of video and e-learning. If in doubt, please ask your IT team or ACT contact to email us at ct@highfield.co.uk.
