Record Breakers!

Fifteen of the twenty delegates attending the university-accredited Security Management Stage 1 Course in the Bangladesh capital Dhaka scored distinctions in the end-of-course examination on 31 May, smashing all previous Security Management Stage 1 records.

The delegates, from as far away as Africa and South Korea, have been undertaking the Middlesex University-accredited two-week training course as part of a long-term competency development programme which will culminate with the award of an MSc Work-Based Learning Studies (Corporate Security Management). Upon graduation, many subsequently plan to further augment their academic credentials by undertaking the ASIS International CPP certification.

The Security Management series of courses taking place in Bangladesh are part of a concerted effort by the business community to capitalise on the economic and political stability which is now evident in the country, and to provide overseas multinational investors with the confidence that their investments and assets are in secure, qualified hands. The courses are also open to security managers from outside Bangladesh.

Commenting on the training, the Inspector General of the Bangladesh Police remarked that the course will not only add considerable value to corporate security management but will provide a secured platform for both business growth and national development.
