Designed as a five-week program, this qualification provides participants with a practical, industry-focused foundation in security operations, preparing them to enter a field with strong and consistent demand for skilled workers across Queensland. Throughout the course, participants develop competency across a range of essential areas, including security fundamentals, effective communication, conflict resolution, managing intoxicated persons, defensive techniques, protecting persons and valuables, and emergency evacuation procedures.
