Apocalyptic Preparedness 101

In 2015, Swedish researchers in collaboration with Oxford University published a report that outlined 12 global risks that had the potential to be the end of human civilisation or life as we know it within the next 100 years. What are these risks, and how likely are they really?
 

• Artificial intelligence wiping out humanity – 10%
• A global pandemic 5% (and yes, this includes the zombie virus)
• Nuclear war – 5%
• Extreme climate change – 5%
• Future bad global governance
• Nanotechnology
• Synthetic biology
• Super-volcano
• Major asteroid impact
• Global system collapse
• Ecological collapse
• Unknown consequences

Whether you’re prepared or not, the potential for an apocalyptic event is fact. This qualification is designed to give you the tools and strategies for survival and self-sufficiency in a minor or major event.

Core Modules

• Survival Skills
• Medicinal Herbs
• Self Sufficiency
• Handling Medical Emergencies

Study Duration:
The first three modules have a guideline of 100 hours each. There are no start or end
dates for these as they’re designed to fit in with other commitments. The final module
runs for six weeks with a two week extension. You will need to ensure you’re able to
manage between 4-6 hours a week of study to comfortably finish this within the given
time frame.
Assessment type:
You will learn a variety of things, through a combination of reading, interacting with
tutors, undertaking research and watching videos. Each lesson culminates in an
assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school's tutors and
returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra
reading.
