Apart from working towards a nationally recognised qualification, Participants will be increasing their skills and knowledge in the security industry as a whole.

As the principles across the industry are similar, participants will be able to take what they have learnt from one industry area and apply this to other areas.

Delivery

This program is delivered over fourteen (14) weeks this includes: distance education, blended learning and workshop delivery over that period. Four weeks of flexible assessment are built in for assessment and achievement of the qualification. There are two x 2-day workshops within the program, complimented by an online toolbox that can be completed at your pace from the convenience of home or office.

Assessment Strategy

To achieve this qualification the candidate must have demonstrated competency against all 11 core units plus 4 elective units. Up to two of the required four electives may be selected from other relevant endorsed Training Package qualifications aligned at the Certificate IV level.

Each unit has a series of tasks for participants to complete. These tasks are based on participants solving possible real life problems that occur as part of working in the security industry. Participants leave this course with a professional portfolio of assessed works to act as a professional resource guide.

Flexible Learning and Assessment

The strategy incorporates a blended learning. This is a combination of multiple approaches to learning using virtual and physical resources such as the technology based online toolbox, face to face sessions and practical delivery. This enables participants to follow a learning path of their choice whether they choose to read material and then complete the activity sheets or vice versa.
