Course Overview
This qualification reflects the role of a security officer, responsible for maintaining safety and security by patrolling, protecting, or guarding property while unarmed, screening entry, monitoring behavior and removing persons from premises.
This qualification is intended to align with the following occupational licensing outcomes:
- security officer – unarmed guard
- security officer – crowd controller.
Occupational titles could include:
- security officer
- unarmed guard
- crowd controller
It provides a pathway to further learning and work in various security roles and settings including, but not limited to:
- armed guarding
- cash-in-transit
- close protection
- control room operations
- guard dog handling.
Security officers may work alone or work in a team environment under general supervision, operating with limited autonomy and judgment to complete routine but variable tasks, with some accountability and responsibility for their own outputs, work and learning.
Occupational licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements may apply at the time of publication. Please refer to the CPP Companion Volume Implementation Guide for information.
Note: You also need to be eligible to hold a Security Provider’s Licence in the region/state where you wish to work. This requires that you have not been convicted of any disqualifying offenses over the last ten years.
