Max SteventonShowstop Procedure has expanded its Introduction to Showstop Procedure E-Learning Course to nine languages, in a move aimed at increasing international access to event safety training.
The initiative is designed to educate event professionals on crowd management and event safety.
Originally launched in March 2026, the course is now available in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Arabic, Dutch and Italian, alongside English.
The expansion is intended to support wider adoption of the Showstop Procedure across live performances, sports, entertainment and cultural events. Organisers said the multilingual rollout is designed to make training more accessible and cost-effective for event professionals internationally.
More than 300 people have registered for the e-learning module since its launch in March, according to the organisers.
The initiative forms part of a campaign led by The Pink Bows Foundation in memory of Madison Dubiski, promoting global implementation of the Showstop Procedure as a standardised emergency response protocol for live events.
The first Accredited Prior Learning (APL) course is scheduled to take place on 12 June at St Mary’s Stadium. The four-hour in-person course is intended for experienced professionals who have completed the e-learning module and includes workshops and a final examination.
Organisers said the training framework supports compliance with the UK’s Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, commonly referred to as Martyn’s Law, by helping event organisers demonstrate structured risk management and emergency preparedness procedures.
The blended learning pathway combines online study with a reduced-duration in-person assessment route for candidates seeking the Professional Certificate in Showstop Procedure.
Showstop Procedure co-founder Steve Allen (pictured left) said, “We have worked with Highfield to provide the best possible E-learning experience for the internationally accreditation Showstop® Procedure training, to develop this first tranche of multi-lingual courses.
“By expanding accessibility and collaborating with international safety professionals, we are enabling more organisations to adopt a consistent approach to respond swiftly and proportionately to life-safety threats in any live event scenario.”
