Participants will benefit from both theoretical instruction and hands-on training, learning from experienced security professionals that have worked inside these types of venues for decades. These techniques are not taught in the basic security Level 2, Level 3 or Level 4 classes and simply not found or offered by most security training academies. This means most security officers that work these venues usually get their training “as they go” on the job site or from another co-worker which isn’t the best, safest or fastest way to learn. Clients don’t what their guards showing up for a “learn as you go” (while they are paying) they want you arriving thoroughly trained for their particular business needs- this is exactly why this one-day class was created.

The curriculum is tailored to address common challenges, general procedures, and circumstances you will face at these types of sites while emphasizing professionalism, communication, and a strong sense of responsibility toward guests and colleagues alike.
