The Security Practitioner programme is the ideal development path for security officers. It allows you to evaluate the skills and knowledge of your security officers without disrupting their normal working routines. So, if you have trained your security officers in basic security principles, coached them on site-specific duties and they have gained some valuable practical experience, but you want to test that they are putting into practice what they were taught - then the Security Practitioner programme can help you. You can evaluate their knowledge and skills, you can identify and address additional training needs in a cost-effective manner and the security officer is rewarded for their achievements with a national qualification.
This programme also attracts generous funding from the LSC and Skills for Security have secured a simple method for small and medium sized companies to not only access this funding easily, but also help with the administration process involved. If you would like to learn more about Security Practitioner, Skills for Security are collating initial interest at the moment so that we can organise a series of free regional events throughout the Summer to inform employers about the benefits of the Security Practitioner programme and also discuss the funding opportunities available to you.
If you would like to register your interest to attend one of these events, please e-mail info@skillsforsecurity.org.uk and we will be happy to send you further details.
