Course Content
Private security industry training online covers a wide range of roles in the private security industry, their various responsibilities, and how these are affected by the law, giving a broad grounding rather than focusing on a single role type.
The course includes an in-depth look at health and safety issues and the concept of duty of care, so security operatives understand their responsibilities extend beyond the immediate security task itself.
The course examines a range of emergency situations which security operatives might be involved with, giving practical grounding in situations that go beyond routine day-to-day duties.
The course also covers communication skills, including tips for effective radio communication and instructions on how to use the phonetic alphabet, since clear communication is often what separates a well-handled incident from a poorly handled one.
CPD approval means that this course can be used by those that need to prove they're continually developing themselves, giving security operatives a recognised way to evidence ongoing professional development.
Anyone working or looking to work within the private security industry who needs a grounding in the law, standards of behaviour, and the practical skills the role requires.
