Certificate III in Security Operations

CPP31318 Certificate III in Security Operations

If you are new to the industry you need to start with CPP20218 Certificate II in Security Operations which is currently available for enrolments.

The Certificate III in Security Operations course does not provide you with additional functions that you can add to your existing security licence. This qualification is for those in the industry who wish to gain further skills and for professional development.

This course will provide you with extra knowledge in the areas of:

• patrolling
• protecting and guarding property
• screening entry
• monitoring behaviour
• removing persons from premises.

This qualification is suitable for Security Officers who wish to deepen and broaden their skills and knowledge in security operations and lead security teams in the field. It provides a pathway to further learning and work in various security roles and settings, including security risk management.

Security officers at this level provide leadership in a team environment, operate under limited supervision, and use discretion and judgement in known and unpredictable work contexts. They take responsibility for their own outputs in work and learning, and limited responsibility for the output of others in the work team.

On completion of this course you will be awarded a CPP31318 Certificate III in Security Operations.
