For the full-time security manager ARC offers two options: university-accredited, interactive and highly-participatory security management courses (which can lead into an optional MSc programme), or ASIS CPP certification.
Forthcoming university-accredited (postgraduate NQF Level 7) courses include (clickable links):
Security Management Stage 1, 15-26 March, 2-13 August
Security Management Stage 2, 28 June – 9 July
Security Management Stage 3, 10-21 May
CPP certification can be achieved by following the ARC/Chapter 208 combined distance-learning/residential programme, or by attending the two-week intensive CPP crammer programme, 12 -23 July.
If you have a particular interest in terrorism, the Countering Hostile Reconnaissance and Counter Terrorism Course, 24-28 May, led by two UK police-trained counter terrorism security advisors, is highly recommended.
For those who are required to conduct investigations, ARC has three options:
Investigating and Interviewing Skills, 1-4 March
Advanced Investigations Techniques, 7-11 June
ASIS Professional Certified Investigator, 23-27 August (distance learning beginning May)
If your work requires you to survey, the very practical (site-based) Security Surveying and Design Course, 19-23 April, is recommended, and you will receive a BTEC level 4 award upon successful completion.
If you have to specify and procure technical security systems, then you should consider the ASIS PSP certification, for which distance learning begins in July.
If you are specifically interested in security risk mitigation in the oil and gas sector, then you should consider the Managing Security Risks in the Oil and Gas Sector Course, 16-20 August.
Those with a crisis management and business continuity remit should consider the Crisis and Business Continuity Management Course, 22-24 June, delivered by Barry Vincent, who was the lead in this area for one of the UK’s biggest and most successful companies.
Finally, if you have reached the pinnacle of security management, or have completed Security Management Stages 1-3, have a security management degree, or CPP, challenge yourself to participate in the very practical one-week BurrillGreen Masterclass in Strategic Security Management, 4-8 October, where you will be put through your paces across a range of “board engagement” scenarios under the guidance of two former multinational corporate heads of security. A unique opportunity – a unique challenge.
As always, Janet will be happy to provide all the details of any of ther above pogrammes.
