“These Skills for Security webinars are an opportunity for experienced fire and security professional to refresh or upskills their current knowledge. The technical training webinars explore a range of topics related to surveying, designing systems to ensure compliance with the most prevalent standards and legislation.
“The first round of technical training webinars were hugely successful, with over 600 CPD certificates released on completion of the online assessment. Feedback from participants highlighted the importance and relevance of these training courses in ensuring compliance with the latest standards and codes of practice. Delivered by a fully qualified fire and security engineer, the courses deliver vital knowledge and understanding needed to prosper in the fire and security industry.
“Delivered via webinar these small, manageable courses are changing the way training is delivered in the fire and security industry.”

We see Training Week as an essential opportunity for online development during this time while it is not possible for security professionals to attend training courses in person.
