Become a Qualified Security Officer with Integrated First Aid Training
Launch your career in the private security industry with the BIIAB Level 2 Award for Security Officers, offered by HR Training Hub. This comprehensive course, which includes essential first aid training, provides the specialist skills needed to protect people, property, and information. Based in Dagenham, our training gives you the SIA-required qualification to work in a vast range of environments, from corporate offices and retail stores to industrial sites and public buildings.
A professional Security Officer is the cornerstone of any effective safety strategy. This role requires vigilance, integrity, and the ability to respond to a wide array of situations. Unlike the licenced-premise focus of a Door Supervisor, a Security Officer’s duties are broader, covering asset protection, patrolling, access control, and emergency response.
At HR Training Hub, we provide you with a qualification that makes you a valuable asset to any employer. By integrating first aid training into the core curriculum, we ensure you are not just a guard, but a capable first responder.
What You Will Learn in This Comprehensive Course
Our BIIAB-approved curriculum is tailored to the specific demands of a Security Officer role and meets all SIA licensing requirements. We provide in-depth training across three core units:
- Unit 1: Principles of Working in the Private Security Industry: This module provides the foundation for your career. You’ll cover key legislation, health and safety protocols, professional conduct, and how to communicate effectively in a variety of situations.
- Unit 2: Principles of Working as a Security Officer: This unit focuses on the day-to-day duties of a Security Officer. You will learn the arts of patrolling, surveillance, and controlling access and egress. The training covers how to conduct effective searches, write incident reports, and understand the technology used in modern security.
- Unit 3: Application of Conflict Management: You will gain essential skills in identifying, preventing, and de-escalating conflict. This module provides techniques to manage difficult and aggressive behaviour professionally and safely, reducing risks for everyone involved.
- Integrated First Aid Training: As a modern security professional, you are often the first on the scene of an incident. This course includes vital first aid training, equipping you with the skills to handle medical emergencies, from minor cuts and burns to performing CPR, until professional medical help arrives.
