TRAIN & QUALIFY WITH A TRUSTED TRAINING PROVIDER.



Security and Personal Safety is about risk reduction and the protection of people and property. Organisations have a duty of care for the health, safety and well being of both their staff and clients. By having effective security and risk reduction measures incorporated into their policy procedures and training the likelihood of the organisation, or the individual’s security and personal safety being compromised, will be reduced or eliminated.

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is an organisation that sets high standards and offers robust services for the security industry. The aim of the SIA is to increase and standardise the skill and professionalism of those employed in the Security Industry. The courses are strategically designed to include a detailed combination of both essential knowledge and highly specialised practical training, all of which is then put to test in a complete skills assessment procedure. This system ensures all of our applicants that complete their course are fully prepared and qualified to enter into their chosen area of the security industry.

Training benefits both the security personnel, as they gain valuable skills to keep them ahead in a very competitive environment, and the client as they receive enhanced services from a skilled team.

Security personnel that have skills outside of standard physical protection can have a direct influence on the quality of service delivered to the client. For example, a guard that understands the importance of customer service will offer more value to a client that requests its guards meet and greet customers as they enter the building.





They say knowledge is power. (Not True) it’s what you do with the knowledge that makes it powerful.

NEW YEAR NEW CAREER.

THE TIME IS RIGHT TO CONSIDER A CAREER IN SECURITY.



With thousands of career choices available how do you know what career path is best for you. If you are keen on safety and security, then read on because this could be a perfect career choice for you. A career in security is a highly responsible position where you are required to keep any premises and people safe and secure.

Some enjoy a career in security as there are various challenges faced every day, others may choose this career as they can achieve a sense of duty and responsibility.

There’s always a demand for security in every populated area in the country, from event security to bodyguard jobs. If you are considering beginning your career in security, read on to find out more about the role and if it matches your expectations and career aspirations.


How Do I Get a Job in Security?

Like any career, the first thing you need to do before applying for a job is to get the appropriate training and licenses. In many places, it is illegal for you to do security work without meeting a set list of requirements, this being certification, security checks and medical checks to ensure you are of a good physical fitness for what can sometimes be a physical job.



In order to work in the security industry, you are required to be:

· Honest, mature and responsible with a positive attitude to work
· Polite and helpful
· A reasonable level of physical fitness
· A good level of written communication skills to write reports
· The confidence to challenge people when necessary
· The ability to remain calm and controlled in stressful situations
· Use your initiative and be able to make quick decisions
· SIA Licenced

If you can say yes to the first 7 headings we can help you achieve the last requirement on the list. In fact, we almost guarantee that if you can without any doubt say yes to the first 7 requirements you will already have most of skills it takes to obtain your security licence.

Under the Private Security Industry Authority Act 2001, all individuals wishing to work in the private security industry must undertake a recognised qualification before applying for a licence. We can help you obtain the licence you need to get you started.

The courses offered focus on different domains within the security sector and will give delegates the necessary understanding to work in a variety of different scenarios.

LEVEL 2 AWARD IN DOOR SUPERVISION







I recently attended this course conducted by Security Training Specialist Jim Loach from Magpie Security in Nottingham UK.


The job today is a world away from my time as a bouncer/doorman, I started off in 1979 at the Eight Bells in Church Street. In those days there was no training, no licence, no cctv, and people had no clue what rights they had or did not have have.

Today's Door Supervisor has to wear many different hats. (as a figure of speech) as can be seen below in the course content.



Common Security Industry Knowledge

Session 1: Awareness of the Law in the Private Security Industry
Session 2: Health and Safety for the Private Security Operative
Session 3: Fire Safety Awareness
Session 4: Emergency Procedures
Session 5: The Private Security Industry
Session 6: Communication Skills and Customer Care
Door Supervisor Specialist Module

Session 1: Behavioural Standards
Session 2: Civil and Criminal Law
Session 3: Searching
Session 4: Arrest
Session 5: Drugs Awareness
Session 6: Recording Incidents and Crime Preservation
Session 7: Licensing Law
Session 8: Emergency Procedures
Session 9: Dealing with Vulnerable Individuals
Session 10: Dealing with Queues and Crowds
Conflict Management Module

Session 1: Avoiding Conflict and Reducing Personal Risk

Session 3: Resolving and Learning from Conflict
Session 4b: Application of Communication Skills and Conflict Management for Door Supervisors
Physical Intervention Skills Module

Session 1: Introduction to Physical Skills
Session 2: Disengagement Techniques
Session 3: Escorting Techniques

The course was a real eye opener and I would recommend anyone thinking of a professional career in the security business (not just door supervision) to book early for 2017

I think I am at the age in life were very few things exceed my expectations, but this was one of them. Thank you to all those who made it possible.
