With the evolution of the Security Industry in the last few years, and the changing role of the security officer, training of staff is imperative.
It is our aim to recruit and train staff to the highest industry standards.
All our staff are fully trained and certified by FETAC and all training of staff is carried out alongside the Irish Security Industry Skillnet (ISIT), a new organisation who deliver training programmes to the security industry. |
