Security Course – Certificate 2 Brisbane (Murrarie) or Cannonvale

• One of the first questions we get asked is “How long is the course?” We have moved away from a set course to blended learning. Which means a mix of in house group training,  phone and electronic contact sessions such as skype, facetime and messenger. Every student arrives with different abilities, skill and knowledge levels. We assess these and create an individual training plan which is only as long as needed to ensure you have the ability and knowledge required by regulations to carry out your job. During the course we re-evaluate where you are at, in case your plan needs adjusting with more/less training.Our average student, about 25 old with extensive work and life experience requires a 3 week in house training course, Monday to Friday plus off site study and tutorials such as skype sessions.
