Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), one of the three Training Centres of Excellence, was established to build the capacity of military, police and civilians to meet the changing demands of peace and security. As a training Centre of Excellence, KAIPTC has over the years of its establishment, enhanced and continues to develop the capacities of its trainees to respond to complex peace and security challenges in the region and beyond. KAIPTC continues to recognize the importance and frequent engagement of employees of top management level in corporate organizations, the security sector, and financial institutions amongst others.

The introduction of this course recognizes the role of Managing Directors (MDs), Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), and Heads of Institutions as Executives who travel on trips for Seminars and vacations as very crucial to the survival and productivity of their organisations. In the wake of global insecurity, Executives within various institutions and corporate organisations need to have some understanding of travel security at all times. The need to create this awareness therefore is paramount. Even though many across the globe travel with little or no challenges it has become necessary to have some awareness of safety and security during trips. Knowledge therefore in travel security can provide some layer of security for executives to stay safe during official and private travels.
