Dubai: The first fully integrated and dedicated training centre for security personnel was launched yesterday at the Gold and Diamond Park by the First Security Group.
"The opening of this dedicated security training facility will expand our reach in the local security training market and is a major step towards the establishment of the First Security Group Training Academy," Major General Abdul Aziz Al Bannai, CEO of First Security Group (FSG) and Board Member said.
The new training centre comprises fully equipped and modern classrooms and caters to the training and development needs of corporate clients such as private security companies and individuals.
"We have taken into consideration all specifics and demands of the private security industry in Dubai. Now the centre offers a 24-hour service to meet clients' requirements. This will allow our clients to provide professional security training to their staff without affecting their daily operations," Japie Uys, Division Manager at the training centre said. He said the shift training offers more flexibility to clients, the majority of whom are running non-stop operations. In addition, the training centre will conduct programmes for ladies in line with the demand for female security personnel.
The training centre offers a full profile of law-enforcement, basic security modules and military programmes, in addition to a number of computer courses directed to security guards. Its comprehensive list of law-enforcement offerings includes detailed courses in all police activities including bomb disposal, canine training, crowd management, emergency services, forensic science, train the trainer, criminal investigation, management, operational police, prison department, special forces, traffic police and visible policing.
All security guard training programmes and modules are certified by West Coast TAFE (Australia) and are presented by experienced and certified trainers.
