Understand the duties of a security operative, the legislation that applies to the role, emergency response procedures, fire safety, good communication, and accurate record-keeping.
Working as a Security Officer
Develop practical skills for controlling access, carrying out searches, patrolling premises and grounds safely, identifying risks, and keeping people, property and buildings secure.
Conflict Management for the Private Security Industry
Learn how to spot situations that could escalate, reduce potential risk, stay calm while communicating, and apply the right approach to managing conflict professionally.
