Facilities Protection

Facilities Protection Training Programme

The Facilities Protection Training Programme is designed for security personnel responsible for safeguarding buildings, assets, staff and visitors across commercial, corporate, industrial, oil and gas, and government environments. This course develops the professional standards, situational awareness, procedural discipline and safety behaviours required to protect fixed sites effectively and responsibly.

This is not a tactical or weapons‑based programme. It focuses on the real‑world duties, expectations and operational conduct required for facility‑based security roles.

Who This Programme Is For

• Corporate and commercial security officers
• Government and public‑sector facility guards
• Industrial, energy and oil & gas infrastructure security personnel
• New entrants seeking a structured introduction to facility protection
• Existing staff requiring refresher training or professional development

Course Structure

A 15‑day professional training programme, followed by a 2‑day validation exercise using controlled, real‑time scenarios with role‑players and airsoft for environmental realism (not tactical instruction).
