Introduction

The security industry in the UAE and Dubai in particular is undergoing major changes. The most significant being the requirement for the industry to comply with a new regulatory framework. This regulation mandates that all personnel engaged in the security industry are issued with a license. The purpose of this is to create commonality and consistency in security operations and to ensure all security companies operate in a professional manner deploying appropriately certified and competent personnel.

First Specialist Training (FST) provides training that meets government regulations for licensing and ensures that your staff have the right competencies to do their job with a pathway to further qualification and improvement.

Specialist Training from Australia

FST has introduced the Australian Vocational Training System and qualification recognition system for application within its training programmes. The Australian Qualification Framework offers a highly suitable structure for the recognition of competence for security personnel. FST is incorporating the Asset Security Training Package and is awarding qualifications in accordance with international standards as required by the UAE Ministry of Interior.

Training Focus

For the initial Dubai licensing requirements, FST will provide a “Certificate I” in Security Operations - enhanced to reflect the UAE operating environment that will focus on the following competencies:

• Follow Workplace Safety Procedures
• Apply Basic Communication Skills
• Prepare for Work in the Security Industry
• Control Access to and Exit from Premises
• Patrol Premises
• Respond to a Security Risk Situation

Training will be completed over a five day period. For maximum cost effectiveness and convenience, training can be delivered at your premises or ours. To accommodate shift timings, evening classes are available.

Classes are limited to a maximum of 35 participants per course. All instructors are qualified in accordance to the Australian Standards for Training and Assessment.

 

TAFE (Technical and Formal Education)

Formal Accreditation will be provided by West Coast Technical And Further Education.

West Coast TAFE provides training to over 20,000 students annually and was one of the first registered training organisations in Western Australia to gain formal recognition within the AQTF quality assurance system.

Students can also use their qualifications at operator level to gain credit for diploma and degree programmes.
