Security CPD Global Ltd

Purpose – To provide access to quality non-regulated training, which is currently being delivered or needs to be designed to fill gaps in the development of specialist security professionals, where using the regulated routes is impractical or inadvisable due to National Security Concerns, Intellectual Property (IP) or there are too few learners per year for it to be viable on the Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF).

Scope – Security CPD Global decided that it would encompass all security-related subject matter rather than simply the provision of SIA-badged roles. Security encompasses a wide range of subject matter from ground operatives to the CEOs of international entities. Each requires a different level of development, and understanding concerning their position in their company and industry sector they work within.

Each of these industries requires different policies, processes, procedures, and protocols to meet the needs of its stakeholders.

• Financial Services (Financial Services Act 2021)  
• Manufacturing (Factories Act 1961)
• Retail (Consumer Rights Act 2015)
• Events (Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 and Martyn’s Law.
• Construction (Health & Safety Act 1974)
• Aviation (Civil Aviation Act 2012)
• Railways (Railways Act 1993 and amendments)
• Maritime (Merchant Shipping and Maritime Security Act 1997)
• Specialist Security (Private Security Industry Act 2001)

Best Practice – Each sector demands its own set of requirements and unique qualities from its personnel in its interactions with the public, Staff, and stakeholders as there are fundamental differences in priorities, from Healthcare to Financial Services although both provide a public service with variations on approaches to Security with some significant differences.

It is important to acknowledge the differences as well as the common ground while promoting Best Practices and innovative ideology to combat the security threats of a contemporary world. It is important today more than any other time to introduce Converged Security Practices, especially with the advances in technology and our dependency on automotive processes.        

National Occupational Standards – Each country has the equivalent of the UK’s National Occupational Standards commonly referred to as NOS. These are important when developing any course whether it’s on the RQF, endorsed, or CPD accredited.  The NOS are the accepted standards with which we expect professionals to adhere to and be able to demonstrate competence. Our course design team requires all of its training materials to match any relevant occupational Standards ensuring each course provides the learner with Valid, Authentic, Reliable, and Current information (VARC) in the same manner as any other Awarding Organisation would require.

Accreditation – We have sought to be accredited and monitored by numerous government entities and industry bodies, to enhance and demonstrate our commitment to the provision of Quality Training and CPD as well as being committed to upholding the highest Industry standards. We are currently working through ISO 9001, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 17024:2012 during 2024 

We achieved several accreditations including Cyber Essentials, and received the Silver Award in 2023 for the Armed Forces Covenant for our support of veterans which I hope demonstrates my commitment to Education and CPD.

Endorsed Routes – These are similar to the CPD route but instead are endorsed by an established Awarding Organisation, such as Highfields or TQUK Awarding Organisations, and will allow you to keep your IP and other rights to your training program, however, there is a bigger cost to these as they require External Quality Assurance of the centre hosting the training and additional Certification Fees will apply.

For some, this adds additional credibility to the Qualification, but these cannot be used instead of Regulated Certificates for Security Organisations like the SIA in the UK.    

Progression Routes – Before engaging in a new career, we strongly advise all learners to develop Knowledge, Skills, and Experience within their chosen area of study, by completing some form of Regulated training as this provides the basis for development. For example, if you wish to work within the Events industry, then you may wish to start with a Level 2 Spectator Safety Course, then move on to Level 3 Spectator safety Supervision as this would give you an excellent basis for specialisation, whilst giving you an insight into the workplace. Once you’ve completed this you may wish to complete some CPD development programs to prepare yourself for higher-level courses before moving on to higher RQF qualifications, as some people find jumping straight into Level 4 or Level 5 very daunting and are ill-prepared for the requirements, in terms of depth of knowledge, Harvard Referencing and portfolio structures.

We aim to prepare our clients for Regulated Qualifications where this is appropriate and provide Knowledge, Skills, and Experience through CPD-accredited learning programs.  

Clients – It is our policy not to divulge on advertising media any companies we provide services or accredited certification to, without their specific authorisation, as we believe in providing confidentiality.
