The aim of this course is to provide the security industry with individuals who have introductory knowledge of identification, analysis and management of security risks, security operational requirements, and the standards and legislation that apply to security consultants in New Zealand.

This course is registered as a micro-credential at Level 4, 20 Credits, on the NZ Qualification Framework. It is accepted by the Private Security Personnel Licensing Authority (PSPLA) as evidence that a person has done the training required to be licensed as a Security Consultant.

Security Consultants have knowledge on the management of security risks and overall operational requirements, they can give advice on or sell security systems such as burglar alarms, warning devices, special locks, cameras and guarding services.

Trainees have told us that:

  • It’s good to have all the relevant materials supplied.
  • I found the study guides extremely helpful and full of good information.
  • Thorough marking of assignments helps you think more widely about the subject.
  • The prompt response, guidance and encouragement on assessment work is helpful.
