Security

Security is a dynamic part of our service sector, it covers roles in events, venues, protection operations and monitoring environments where public safety is key. Whether working in a crowd-control team at a stadium, on patrol in a property-guard role, or coordinating from a communications centre, professionals in this field help create safe and welcoming spaces for people to live, work and enjoy themselves.


These qualifications give employees practical, on-job training in the skills that matter: clear communication, risk awareness, incident response, legal and regulatory knowledge, and handling real-world security challenges. For organisations it means staff who are more confident, compliant and ready to act. For individuals it means stepping into a career where you make a visible difference and gain a nationally recognised credential for your efforts.
