If you’re looking to grow your security career, or just want to know more about security, our professional training courses are perfect for you.
At Capricorn, we provide much more than just keyholding services and installations. Our security training courses are some of the best in the UK, backed up by 10 years of experience providing multiple courses from fully qualified instructors.
Security Training Courses
Security training covers wide range of areas. Knowing the different types of training course, and which are best for you, is crucial.
Let’s start with one of the most important courses for security staff: First Aid Training.
First Aid and Door Supervision Training
If you work in door security, you’ll likely already know how to handle unruly customers and ensure the right people are allowed onto the premises. However, if someone suddenly falls ill, or is injured, you need to know how to act.
Our Emergency First Aid & Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors course covers everything you need to know to keep people safe. As a combined course, you’ll develop a thorough understanding of first aid and the other responsibilities you have, helping you to succeed in the private security industry.
This is one of our most popular courses, and for good reason. The Level 2 award is essential to stay compliant, as well as have all the skills and knowledge needed to provide effective security.
Close Protection Training
As a close protection operative, you have a lot of responsibility to keep your client safe. If you work solo, or as part of a larger team, you always need to be up to date with the latest requirements to guarantee safety. It also includes a First Aid at Work course, once again helping to ensure their safety.
We provide Level 3 Certification for Close Protection Operatives, ensuring you have the experience and credentials your clients will expect. We also have a Level 2 ‘top-up’ course for any operatives who need a refresher (more about those soon!).
Keyholding Training
Keyholding is one of the most important services we provide. When a professional security team can access a company’s premises in the event of an emergency, it ensures that the right people are the first on the scene if an alarm is triggered.
To be part of one of those teams, you need the right certification. Business owners won’t just hand over a set of keys unless you can guarantee they’ll be kept securely, and you know how to act if you’re needed.
Our keyholding courses cover everything you need to know; from the legislation you need to stay compliant to how long it should take you to reach the premises.
CCTV Operator Training
CCTV is a security measure being used by the majority of businesses across the UK, from huge enterprises to private-owned shops.
Larger companies need to hire CCTV operators who will monitor their footage to ensure there are no safety risks. But with CCTV cameras becoming more and more sophisticated every year, can you guarantee that you know how to use them? Most cameras follow a universal design, but each CCTV provider’s products are still unique.
Our CCTV operator training covers everything you need to know about the latest cameras, so there will be no surprises at your next job. As we fit some of the best security cameras ourselves, we understand them inside and out; knowledge we pass on through our courses.
CCTV training can also be useful for business owners. You may not need a full-time security team or can’t justify one at the moment. But operating without CCTV puts your business at risk. By taking our course, you’ll understand how to get the most out of your cameras.
Who needs Security Training?
Security training courses are generally used by 3 types of people.
First are people looking to start a career in security. The private security sector provides a lot of job opportunities, but the best jobs are only offered to those with A. experience and B. the right certification.
You may assume that we can only help with the latter, providing training courses that open up new opportunities. But we actually provide a lot of opportunities ourselves too.
As one of the leading security companies in the North West, we offer guaranteed interviews as part of many of our courses, helping you to progress in your security career. And if we don’t have a position available, we can always point you in the right direction.
Top-Up Security Courses
Our top-up courses are key for any security operatives looking to expand their career. With more knowledge under your belt, you can provide better security services, no matter how much experience you have.
Security is constantly evolving; keeping up with the latest legislation is crucial. We are approved by Highfield, meaning we are qualified to deliver a wide range of qualifications, from initial SIA licencing to advanced training in door supervision, security guarding, key holding, and close protection.
Security Courses for Business Owners
Security is one of the most important facets of your business. No matter whether you have your own security team, outsource, or just rely on professionally fitted equipment, security training is crucial to stay compliant.
If you know about the latest security measures, how to operate your CCTV cameras, and have an in-depth understanding of what security your business needs, you can keep your staff and premises safe.
