Security Training for New Entrants
If you are new to the security industry, the first step is choosing the correct training route for the type of security work you want to do.
Security Guard training is suited to learners who want to work in static security, construction site security, reception security, retail security, warehouse security, corporate security, access control and general guarding roles.
Door Supervisor training is suited to learners who want to work in licensed premises, event security, venue security, nightlife security, front-of-house security and roles where door supervision duties are required.
These courses are designed to give learners a recognised education route into the industry, with practical skills that can be used in real security environments.
Security Training Routes
Security Guard Training
Security Guard training is suitable for learners who want to work in static guarding, site security, reception security, retail security, construction site security, corporate security or general security officer roles.
Door Supervisor Training
Door Supervisor training is suitable for learners who want to work in licensed premises, pubs, clubs, venues, events and front-of-house security roles where door supervision duties are required.
Education, Skills and Career Development
Good security training should do more than meet a minimum requirement. It should help learners understand the responsibility that comes with working in security and prepare them for the realities of front-line security work.
C&T Security Group places strong focus on practical understanding, professional behaviour, communication, confidence, awareness and sound judgement. Learners are encouraged to think beyond simply passing the course and to understand how the training applies in real workplaces.
Security work can involve dealing with members of the public, protecting property, managing access, handling difficult behaviour, responding to incidents and representing a client or employer professionally. The right education gives learners a stronger start in the industry.
What You Learn During Security Training
Communication and Conflict Management
Building confidence in communication, de-escalation, recognising risk early and managing difficult situations in a calm, professional and lawful way.
QQI Level 4 Security Training
The Security Guard and Door Supervisor training routes support learners working towards relevant QQI Level 4 awards linked to private security industry licensing.
QQI Level 4 certification gives learners a recognised education outcome and provides a formal training foundation for applying to work in licensed security roles.
Once learners successfully complete the required coursework, attendance and assessments, results are processed through the appropriate certification route. The official QQI certificate is issued once final results and certification processing are complete.
C&T Security Group can guide learners on the next steps after training, including approximate certification timelines, learner documentation and how training links to the PSA licence application process.
QQI Level 4 Pathway | Practical Security Skills | Industry Entry Support | PSA Licence Application Guidance
PSA Licence Application Support
Learners who want to work in licensable security roles must follow the current Private Security Authority application requirements for the licence type they are applying for.
After successful completion of the required coursework, attendance and assessments, learner paperwork is submitted through the appropriate process for results and certification.
Where applicable, a TRF, or Training Results Form, may then be issued by the Security Institute of Ireland after successful course completion and submission of the required paperwork.
The TRF was originally introduced as a temporary support document to help successful learners apply for a PSA licence while waiting for the relevant QQI certification cycle to be completed and receive their QQI certificate.
C&T Security Group does not issue TRFs. TRFs are issued by the Security Institute of Ireland where the learner has successfully completed the required training and the necessary paperwork has been submitted.
Learners must complete the required coursework, attendance and assessments properly before any result, TRF or certification process can move forward.
