providing training courses to individuals, guarding companies & bodies who have directly employed security personnel
SECURITAY have set up a training department STS ( Securitay Training Services) to deliver a specific level of training for our own staff, other guarding companies and for companies and bodies who have directly employed security personnel.
SECURITAY is aware that at present in Scotland it is not compulsory for “In House” security staff to be licensed, however it may come in the future. Companies and organisations that directly employ security staff should be aware that they have a duty of care towards their employees in ensuring that adequate training is provided.
SECURITAY is a Skills for Security approved provider of training courses for the security industry. All security training is carried out by our approved instructors in our training facilities at Broughty Ferry and Aberdeen . This is specifically to ensure we deliver consistent, high quality levels of service, which not only meets, but also exceeds the requirements and expectations of the customer as a whole.
SECURITAY will ensure a measurable return on investment! Manned Guarding is a major investment, and as such should give a measurable return.
We believe the training provided by Securitay will enhance the return on this investment i.e.
• Lessen the chance of litigation.
• Increased awareness for loss prevention
• Staff with recognised qualifications.
• Professionalism.
• Reduced staff turnover (through provision of career path)
• Reduced Insurance Premiums
