GENERAL SECURITY AND INTEGRATED SERVICES

As well as being approved to deliver and assess a range of Edexcel and NOCN qualifications, ICTS also offers a number of bespoke training programmes, seminars and workshops which cover such topics such as personal security, property security, practical health and safety, bomb threat awareness and the effective use of technology.

Working in close consultation with our clients, ICTS training development staff design and build programmes tailored to the exact requirements of each individual organisation.

The end products are modular training packages which provide individuals and clients' staff with relevant, practical knowledge and skills which are directly applicable to the area for which they have been developed. These packages therefore represent a much more effective way of raising security awareness, rather than simply presenting a series of 'generic theories'.
