Release date: 28th January 2010
Skills for Security has announced the launch of a new Level 3 Security Operations programme, developed in conjunction with ARC Training.
This course has been created for operational personnel who have an understanding of security but want to extend their knowledge, for either personal development or career development purposes.
The programme covers Health & Safety, Physical Security, Information Security, Personnel and the Law.
There are three learning options available:
- Trainers can purchase a CD-ROM containing all of the materials required to teach the programme in the classroom
- Alternatively there is a student distance learning workbook that allows them to complete the course through reading and the completion of exercises, allowing students to learn at their own pace
- Or the two methods can be combined, with some modules taught in the classroom while others are completed by studying the textbook.
David Greer, Skills for Security Chief Executive, comments, 'Research within the security sector identified demand for a Level 3 qualification that will help people improve their security knowledge. We worked with employers to provide them with a programme that is fit for purpose and we are extremely pleased with the programme that has been developed with the assistance of ARC training. It is very comprehensive, and having different learning options is of great benefit to the industry.'
Learners who are seeking a qualification can use the programme to achieve a Level 3 Award in Security Operations.
