Our Advanced Security Training Courses

At Shield Security Solutions, we deliver more than qualifications; we build professionals. Our training portfolio is designed to meet the rigorous demands of international security operations and to prepare individuals and teams for the complex challenges of protecting assets, people, and reputations. Every programme is crafted and taught by veterans from the military, law enforcement, and private sectors, ensuring our learners receive an education grounded in practical experience and global operational relevance.

Level 5 Security Risk Practitioner

This executive-level course prepares experienced operatives, corporate managers, and consultants to step into high-level strategic roles within the global security industry. Learners will be challenged to think critically and apply sophisticated methodologies to assess risk, design comprehensive protective strategies, and implement solutions tailored to dynamic threat landscapes.

Through real-world scenarios, global case studies, and simulated crisis events, learners explore the intersection of policy, planning, and protection. Participants will engage in threat modelling, vulnerability analysis, and security architecture design, all within the framework of international standards and corporate governance expectations.

By the end of this programme, learners will be capable of presenting intelligence-led security strategies to executive boards, advising private and public sector clients, and leading multidisciplinary teams across global operations. The course concludes with a capstone assessment, requiring candidates to build and present a security risk management plan for a high-value, real-world scenario.

Level 3 Close Protection Training

As one of our flagship qualifications, the Level 3 Close Protection course sets the standard for personal security training. Designed to meet UK SIA standards while remaining globally adaptable, this course fully prepares candidates for operational deployments in corporate, private, or hostile environments.

The programme blends theory and immersive field training, simulating everything from VIP arrivals and public movement to convoy protection, residential security planning, and rapid emergency response. Delegates will use communication equipment, body armour, and operational vehicles during practical drills, and will be tested through final exercises in live, public environments such as shopping centres, hotels, and transport hubs.

More than just a certificate, this course delivers the mindset, precision, and capability needed to function as a trusted protector in real-world, high-stakes situations.

Level 3 Emergency Care for First Responders (ECFR)

In a crisis, immediate intervention can mean the difference between life and death. This intensive medical training programme equips security personnel and high-risk professionals with the skills required to manage casualties in environments where professional emergency responders may be delayed or unavailable.

Delivered by paramedics and combat medical specialists, the course includes hands-on training in trauma response, catastrophic bleeding control, airway management, CPR, casualty evacuation, and tactical care under fire. Delegates will train using advanced manikins and real-world equipment in both classroom and outdoor settings, including confined spaces and low-light conditions.

Ideal for those operating in high-threat areas or supporting high-value personnel, this course ensures participants can stabilise patients and maintain life until handover to emergency services.

Level 3 Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT)

Operating in hostile or politically unstable regions demands more than tactical ability — it requires resilience, awareness, and sound judgement. This course is specifically developed for personnel deploying to high-risk countries, whether in media, NGO, corporate, or diplomatic roles.

Delivered through realistic, high-pressure scenarios, this programme covers pre-deployment planning, threat profiling, risk mitigation, arrest and detention response, hostage survival, and crisis navigation. Cultural sensitivities, local intelligence gathering, and operating in contested zones are also deeply explored.

Delegates leave the course better prepared both mentally and practically to survive, adapt, and respond intelligently in volatile environments.

Level 3 Media Safety Training

Journalists and media support teams often operate on the frontlines of global unrest. This bespoke training equips them with the tactical awareness and personal safety skills needed to protect themselves and their colleagues while capturing critical stories.

Focusing on practical tools for working in dangerous environments, this course includes training on situational awareness, personal protective equipment, conflict avoidance, protest coverage, extraction procedures, and basic emergency care. Case studies drawn from global incidents provide real insight into common challenges and missteps.

Graduates of this course are better equipped to produce under pressure, remain self-sufficient in isolated locations, and contribute to safe, responsible journalism worldwide.

Instructor Development Package

This comprehensive pathway transforms experienced operators into certified trainers. Designed for professionals ready to transition into education and leadership, this package includes Level 3 Award in Education and Training, Level 3 Delivery of Conflict Management, and Level 3 Physical Intervention Instruction.

Participants learn advanced teaching techniques, legal frameworks for training, and how to design engaging, inclusive programmes. You’ll practice delivering live sessions, receive structured feedback, and be assessed on your ability to control a training room, demonstrate safety-critical techniques, and evaluate learners against awarding body standards.

This package is the cornerstone for anyone planning to run accredited training courses or contribute to the professional development of others in the security industry.

Level 2 Close Protection Top-Up

This course brings current Close Protection licence holders in line with the latest legal, tactical, and regulatory standards. Delivered as a combination of practical refreshers and theory updates, the training ensures operatives are compliant with the SIA’s evolving expectations.

Participants will revisit physical intervention skills, communication drills, threat recognition procedures, and recent case law affecting CP operations. Assessments will be conducted using video playback, peer evaluation, and instructor-led debriefing.

Level 2 Door Supervisor Refresher

This essential course for renewing SIA door supervisor licences ensures personnel remain legally compliant and operationally ready. Delegates will be updated on current legislation, licensing obligations, and key professional responsibilities.

Using role-play and scenario testing, participants will practice responding to modern threats such as knife crime, aggressive intoxication, and large-scale disturbances. Emphasis is placed on conflict management, situational awareness, and de-escalation.

Level 2 Conflict Management

Ideal for staff in retail, hospitality, public services, and transport, this practical course provides the tools to defuse tension and reduce the likelihood of violence in face-to-face roles. Participants learn how to remain calm under pressure, communicate with authority, and identify behavioural triggers before conflict escalates.

Live scenarios, recorded practice, and behavioural psychology models help learners adopt a controlled, professional approach to volatile situations.

Level 2 Pit Barrier Training

High-energy events demand highly trained safety personnel. This course prepares operatives for managing crowds in front-of-stage areas during festivals, concerts, sporting events, and demonstrations.

Participants will train on crowd psychology, barrier systems, emergency extraction, and artist protection. Exercises include mock event management coordination and real-time crowd scenario planning.
