Expanding Your Horizons as a Security Professional

ARC has an exciting programme of courses over the coming months, with something for all levels. If you are looking for core-skills training in security management, you should consider either:

Security Management Stage 1, 8-19 August and again 14-25 November (UK). This core-skills course, attended by hundreds of security managers worldwide, is university accredited and provides the initial step towards the MSc Professional Practice in Corporate Security Management. The course is also scheduled to run in Kuala Lumpur, 12-23 September, and Nigeria, 3-14 October.

BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Security Coordination and Management, 5-9 September (UK) and 14-18 November (Singapore). This course provides delegates with a recognised Edexcel award in security management. Edexcel professional awards are recognised across the world.

If you have attended a core skills course in security management, you may wish to consider Security Management Stage 2, 10-21 October (UK), which focuses on the more advanced concepts in security management.

Security Management Stage 3, 19-30 September, is a two-week programme that focuses on the broader contribution that security managers can make to their organisations, especially at the strategic level. The course assumes that delegates have a broad education in generic security management, having attended Security Management Stages 1 and 2, or having already undertaken CPP.

The Burrill-Green Masterclass in Strategic Security Management, 31 October - 4 November, is intended for the most senior practitioners of corporate security and those with realistic aspirations to take up such a position. This is a unique learning experience and applications for places will be scrutinised accordingly to ensure that all participants are sufficiently “pre-qualified”. If you have completed Security Management Stages 1-3, hold a CPP, or are operating at regional security management level or higher, this is an ideal programme for you.

BTEC Professional Awards offer certificated proof of your competence in security management. Train to security survey with the BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Security Surveying and Design, 12-16 September (UK), train to investigate with the BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Workplace Investigating and Interviewing, 3-6 October (UK), or simply aim for the generic BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Security Coordination and Management (details above).
