Case Study

CISA Office for
Bombing Prevention

A long-term partnership supporting the nation's counter-IED preparedness mission through strategy, curriculum, training, and multimedia production.

Summary of Project — CISA Office for Bombing Prevention

Building a National Counter-IED Learning Ecosystem

Since 2017, Blake Learning Solutions has partnered with the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Office for Bombing Prevention (OBP) to support one of the nation's most important public safety missions. Over multiple contract periods, BLS has provided strategic consulting, curriculum design, instructor-led training development, e-learning, video production, awareness campaigns, and training delivery support.

Maintaining and expanding a high-stakes national training portfolio

OBP serves law enforcement, emergency managers, critical infrastructure operators, security professionals, and other stakeholders across the country. The program faced ongoing demands to:

  • Maintain and update a large portfolio of existing training products
  • Develop new products for emerging threats and evolving needs
  • Deliver learning across multiple formats — instructor-led, virtual, and online
  • Reach geographically dispersed audiences nationwide
  • Meet federal standards for accessibility and accreditation
  • Scale training while maintaining quality and consistency

A long-term partnership spanning strategy, curriculum, training, and multimedia production

Over multiple contract periods, BLS has served as OBP's embedded learning and development partner, providing end-to-end support across the full training lifecycle.

Training Strategy & Curriculum Design

BLS conducted large-scale training needs assessments and curriculum analyses to help OBP identify capability gaps, prioritize development, and build long-term learning pathways — including a curriculum framework, credentialing recommendations, and stakeholder engagement workshops.

Instructor-Led, Virtual, and Online Training

BLS develops and updates instructor-led courses, virtual instructor-led trainings, and web-based learning using established instructional design methodologies and federal standards, complete with participant materials, facilitator guides, assessments, and supporting resources.

Multimedia Production

BLS produces awareness videos, training films, and promotional content communicating counter-IED concepts to broad audiences, including public-facing campaigns and specialized training media for practitioner audiences.

Training Delivery Support

BLS supports delivery of OBP training programs by providing trained instructors, course facilitation, logistics support, and quality assurance across in-person and virtual events.
