Course Overview:

This intensive 3-day Level 3 Award provides security and protection personnel with the essential non-intrusive skills required to identify hostile intent through the observation of behavioural and physiological indicators. Based on proven international methodologies, this course trains participants to operate in public and private spaces, using a systematic approach to recognise unusual, deceptive, or threatening behaviours before they translate into actionable threats.

Participants will learn how to profile baseline behaviour in varying environments, conduct professional, non-confrontational screening interviews, and effectively escalate potential threats, integrating seamlessly with existing security protocols. This qualification is ideal for those responsible for security in high-footfall areas, corporate buildings, aviation, and Close Protection teams.
