Active Shooter Training for the Workplace
Active shooter training that prepares your employees to respond, not just watch a video.
Active shooter situations are typically over within 10 to 15 minutes, often before law enforcement arrives. In those minutes, how your employees respond depends entirely on how they were trained. Intellezy provides active shooter training through custom eLearning, instructor-led sessions, blended programs, and on-demand video courses, each designed to prepare your workforce to recognize warning signs, follow your emergency procedures, and act decisively under pressure.

FBIWhy Standard Active Shooter Training Is Only the Starting Point
Standard active shooter training covers the fundamentals: situational awareness, run-hide-fight protocols, and how to report a threat. That foundation matters, and every employee should have it. But awareness-level content on its own does not prepare employees to act within your specific environment when seconds count.
Employees who complete a general awareness course know the concept of run-hide-fight. What they may not know is which exits are closest to their workstation, how your organization's communication system alerts during a crisis, who is responsible for accounting for visitors, or what the protocol is for employees working in areas with limited egress.
Active shooter preparedness strengthens when organizations build on that foundation with training tailored to their facility layout, their emergency procedures, and the specific responsibilities different roles carry during an incident.
Active Shooter Training Built Around Your Organization
Every organization has a different physical environment, communication infrastructure, and set of roles that carry different responsibilities during a crisis. Intellezy provides training across four delivery formats, each designed to build on general awareness and prepare your workforce to respond within your specific facility and procedures.
Custom Active Shooter eLearning Development
Custom eLearning modules built around your facility layout, your evacuation routes, and your emergency communication protocols. Employees practice response decisions in scenarios that reflect their actual building and workstations, connecting the training directly to the environment where they would need to act.
Instructor-Led Active Shooter Response Training
Some aspects of active shooter preparedness cannot be taught through a screen. How to move through your building under duress, how managers account for their teams during a lockdown, and how your organization communicates with first responders all require live, facilitated practice at your location or virtually with your actual procedures as the framework.
Blended Active Shooter Training Programs
Different roles carry different levels of responsibility during an active shooter event. Blended programs pair foundational awareness content with deeper, facility-specific preparation for the teams and individuals who need to make critical decisions under pressure. One program, multiple tiers of depth.
On-Demand Active Shooter Training Courses
A collection of video courses covering active shooter awareness, run-hide-fight protocols, detection and prevention tactics, and post-incident recovery. Every course integrates with your LMS via SCORM and is available in over 40 languages for global or distributed workforces. Effective as standalone awareness training or as the foundational layer in a blended program that adds facility-specific and role-specific preparation.
