  • 4x HD Engineering Modules (12 hours total) & downloadable wiring/plumbing schematics
  • Printable Household Golden-Hour SOP Binder & Postcode CNI Audit Workbook
  • Access to monthly live online Q&A and UK Signal Net exercises

Option B: Online Material + 2-Day / 2-Night Residential (£895)

All-inclusive UK residential training (2 Days / 2 Nights)

  • Full Online Learning Material access prior to arrival
  • 2 nights private en-suite cottage accommodation & all farm-to-table meals included
  • 2 days hands-on training wiring BS 1363 boiler backup spurs, water RO rigs & check valves
  • Take-home Boiler Fly-Lead Conversion Kit & laminated PACE Muster Cards (£50 value)

Module-by-Module Curriculum & Practical Labs

M1: The UK Cascading Collapse Clock (Minute 0 to Day 30) (2.5 hrs)

  • Why Great Britain’s 48.8 Hz LFDD relays trip before you can fill a bathtub
  • Mapping your postcode’s elevation relative to local water service reservoirs and sewage lift stations
  • Population density reality: Why M25/M1/M6 "bug-out" evacuation is mathematically impossible in England (434 people/km²)

Hands-On Lab: Postcode CNI Audit: Locate your nearest 275kV/132kV substation, cell mast sector, and gravity water head.

M2: Golden Hour Water, Pressure Capture & Zero-Water Sanitation (3.0 hrs)

  • Minute-0 emergency mains water capture (WaterBOB, header tanks, non-return check valves)
  • 4-stage filtration physics: Why boiling fails against industrial runoff and why 0.0001µm RO + NaOCl electrochlorination works
  • Twin-bucket thermophilic sanitation & pathogen neutralization when municipal sewers back up into ground-floor traps

Hands-On Lab: Install a main stopcock backflow prevention protocol & calibrate a 50ppm sodium hypochlorite batch from table salt.

M3: Thermal Preservation in Victorian & Post-War UK Housing Stock (3.0 hrs)

  • Micro-environment room-within-a-room thermal zoning during a January gas/electrical blackout
  • Powering an existing UK gas combi boiler’s 80W circulation pump & PCB igniter from a 12V/230V LiFePO4 pack via flying-lead changeover
  • Carbon monoxide (CO) lethality rules, indoor dew-point mould prevention, and 12V DC heated garment energetics

Hands-On Lab: Wire a BS 1363 boiler service spur plug for rapid switchover from mains to portable LiFePO4 inverter power.

M4: The Family No-Comms Rendezvous & Extraction Protocol (3.5 hrs)

  • Designing primary, secondary, and tertiary walking/cycling corridors out of major UK cities
  • Trigger conditions: Automatic muster rules when 4G/5G and PSTN Digital Voice drop simultaneously
  • Grey-man urban movement, non-perishable caloric staging, and OPSEC

Hands-On Lab: Build and laminate your household’s 2-page PACE (Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency) Muster Card.
