The Security Management programme is an activity based course where the first 5 units are supported by a day seminar each, and the Financial Awareness Unit covering 2 days. Our workshops are especially contextualised for the security industry and will provide key insights to management challenges that are pertinent to the security industry. Each of the learning units are assessed during the seminars and leads to a BTEC Level 5 Certificate in Management Studies qualification.
The six mandatory units, as follows:
Personal development
Covering time management skills, professional and personal skills, it is a reflective unit that is designed to help the candidate produce a personal development plan.
Communications at work
Examining in greater detail communication skills for the workplace, it covers skill based subjects such as handling meetings, presentation and written skills, as well as more theoretical subjects that cover internal and external communications, barriers, culture and information sources.
Leadership
Exploring the attributes and skills of successful leaders, in this unit we consider how some of the leadership theories and models can be applied to specific situations, and learn how leadership skills can be developed.
Managing activities
Covering a range of concepts, tools and models used to manage business activities, students will learn more about project management techniques, resource allocation and delegation.
