Residence Security Team Course

The Residence Security Team Advanced Skills allows Security licensed operators, as well as CP operators without dedicated venue security training to work as part of Close Protection Team.

The aim of the Residence Security Team course of I.B.A is to enhance the training of dedicated Residence security provision to include operational norms and templates of operation and to develop entry level and residence specific security provision.

This course uniquely enhances core skills while at the same time highlighting roles and threats specific to the protection team and the role associated with securing relevant homes, hotels, businesses and hospitals.

This course is also aimed at security staff who due to their role may be required to facilitate or support either short term or long-term protection tasks.

Note - Delegates who complete the course will be able to perform venue and residence security with great professionalism.
