The StratCom Academy delivers a mix of residential modules, tailored mobile education and training solutions (METT), and advisory support to ensure we can meet the education and training needs of your organisation in a way that suits you. Our training solutions follow a modular approach, enabling you to train your personnel effectively and efficiently for the roles they undertake.

The Academy is led by Mark Laity, a former Director of Communications at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), and Peter Clarke , a former Chief Plans, Training and Doctrine within SHAPE Communications Division.  Both played a central part in development of NATO’s Strategic Communications Policy, Doctrine, and Education and Training Requirements; and the StratCom Academy modules combine this understanding of the requirement with their extensive experience of delivering effective Strategic Communications for military, wider public sector, and commercial organisations across the spectrum of competition.

The Academy can call on an impressive stable of speakers, lecturers, mentors, and advocates drawn from the NATO, EU and wider European security field; with many having played leading roles in the development of NATO StratCom (and its national equivalents) policy, doctrine, education, and training solutions. This experience covers all levels, from the political and strategic, to the operational and tactical front lines of major military and humanitarian operations.
