Working effectively as a Security Officer

We want to train you so you can pass your examination. However; we aim for more than that. We want you to be great at your job, capable, professional and confident to manage the many and varied challenges you might encounter.

When you learn with us, not only will we give you the knowledge of what you do as a Security Officer, we will provide you with practical skills so you know HOW to be a professional Security Officer. A respected professional team member.

How do we do this? Through interactive, practical fun and scenario based training. Our training takes you step by step through the underpinning knowledge of what you should do. Then we practice doing it in a safe environment with others on your course and we look at what happens when it goes to plan and also what to do when it doesn't.

 

What does Security Officer training consist of?

This course consists of three elements;

- Working within the private security industry
- Working as a Security Officer within the private security industry
- Conflict management within the private security industry

Learners must have at least 28 hours of training - just under 4 days of learning. However; we are allowed to let learners study some of this in their own. This means that the time in the classroom can be reduced to 18 ½ hours over a minimum of 3 days.

Of course, learners must study at least 9 ½ of the course themselves - we guide you through this and provide all the materials you need as well.

So, these Security Officer courses are flexible - depending on whether we carry out all of the training in the classroom or whether you carry out some learning yourself.

We use scenario based sessions to create interactive, fun, engaging and practical courses.

 

Our training is flexible to suit you

We can deliver Security Officer courses as either a short course of either 3 or 4 days in length, depending on whether you opt for full classroom learning or, some self study.

We can also deliver these courses over blocks of days, for example over two or three weekends if you desire.

So, for clients who have numbers of learners who need Security Officer courses, we can be flexible to suit your needs
