Institute Developments Event Security Training Specification launch The Specification is certified by the Security Institute at Intermediate Level (level 5 equivalent) and satisfies all areas of event including entry, parking, crowd control and bar area operations. We will be establishing, under our National Register, a list of trainers authorised to deliver the course and a vital part of this registration is the attendance at a briefing session to review the overall requirements for candidate certification. This briefing session will take place on Tuesday 23rd June 2009 at the Abbeyleix Manor Hotel, Abbeyleix, Co. Laois from 0900hrs to 1700hrs. The cost for the day (to cover admin, meeting room and meals etc.) is €90. Credit card payments can be taken by contacting Caroline in the office on 045 409222. Our first batch of trainers have recently qualified to deliver the Dealing with Conflict and Physical Threat Specification. Congratulations to all and our appreciation to Archangel Services Ltd NI for their excellent course and trainers. Older news...

Piloting of close protection qualification We were approached two years ago by a number of the main organisations in the close protection sector to put in place a certification scheme for their staff or members. A draft specification has now been developed and circulated for comment. It is now proposed to run a pilot course to test the overall course. |
