Enhance Your Prospects as a Security Professional

For the full-time security management professional ARC offers two options: university-accredited, interactive and highly-participatory security management courses - which can lead into an option to work towards an MSc Professional Practice (Corporate Security Management) - or preparation courses for the ASIS CPP and PSP certifications.

Forthcoming university-accredited (postgraduate NQF Level 7) courses include (clickable links):

Security Management Stage 1, 2-13 August
Security Management Stage 2, 11-22 October
Security Management Stage 3, 6-17 September

For those who are required to conduct investigations, ARC can offer the following:

Investigating Fraud in the Workplace, 20-22 July
Investigating and Interviewing Skills, 25-28 October


If your work requires you to survey, the very practical (site-based) Security Surveying and Design Course, 20-24 September, is recommended.

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.

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 the above programmes.

How to Dramatically Increase Your Chances of Passing the ASIS CPP and PSP Certifications

Almost all candidates who follow the ARC preparation courses for the ASIS CPP and PSP certifications pass the examination first time. A recent candidate comment reflects the type of support that we can provide in helping you pass these difficult examinations:

“I would like to thank you for a great course and am sure I would not have passed if it wasn't for your patience and teaching.”

Convert Your CPP or PSP into a University Postgraduate Certificate

ARC hopes to be able to announce in the near future a partnership whereby those security professionals who are ASIS-board certified (CPP or PSP) will be able to “convert” their award into a university postgraduate certificate in security management or security design. More details to follow as they are worked out. Contact David.
