Training Overview

Training Overview

A diverse group of people work in security professions across various organisations and companies. These professionals require the opportunity to develop leadership knowledge and skills to enhance both personal and organisational performance. Security departments and their employees need these skills to align more effectively with the organization's vision, mission, and goals. Security professionals must function efficiently within the larger organisation, making it essential for them to possess leadership skills and the ability to lead their teams. To achieve best practice in leadership, security professionals should understand how leadership applies to their industry, their organisation, and their team.

“The Security Officer Leadership Programme” training course is designed to equip delegates with techniques and abilities to perform their duties using some of the current best practices in leadership. This course provides an opportunity to develop leadership skills that will aid in working collaboratively, managing conflict situations, implementing time management techniques, and embracing change. Offered by Coventry Academy, this training course is structured to complement a more technical security issue management course but is also suitable as a standalone leadership module. This highly interactive and hands-on seminar is crafted to empower participants to learn, understand, and practice leadership techniques.
