Why Core

Doing both changes the standard

Most companies either train security officers or supply them. We do both, out of the same building. That means we are not handing a certificate to someone we will never see again, and the officer standing at your door was taught by the people who signed off the course.

Between us the team has over 30 years in the industry. It shows in the training room, where the scenarios are real ones, and on site, where experience is the difference between a situation handled and a situation filmed.

  • Highfield Approved Centre, qualifications recognised UK wide
  • Every officer SIA licensed and vetted
  • Central Glasgow training venue, easy on public transport
  • Small class sizes with real practical time
  • Cover from a single evening to a full season
  • Emergency First Aid arranged alongside your SIA course
