State the legal conditions for firearm possession and carrying on duty, including storage, transport, and reporting duties, and flag any point you cannot verify for instructor review
Your checkpoint
A two-page legal cheat sheet with article-level citations and a short list of open questions for the instructor
Legal framework for private security and cash-in-transit in Belgium & Use of force, self-defence, and firearms regulations
Apply the self-defence doctrine to three written scenarios (armed robbery, unarmed aggressive bystander, pursuit after the fact) and justify proportionality in each
Rank the force options available to a CIT guard from verbal presence to lethal force and write the legal trigger for each step
Draft the exact sequence of actions required after any use of force, from securing the scene to the written report and notification of superiors
Self-test on 40 legal and firearms items and log every wrong answer with the correct rule
Your checkpoint
A written use-of-force decision ladder plus a scored 40-item self-test with an error log
Cash-in-transit procedures, secure loading, and route planning & Armoured vehicle operations and crew coordination
Sequence a full cash pickup and delivery from pre-departure briefing to reconciliation, naming the check performed at each handover point
Design a loading plan for an armoured vehicle that respects weight distribution, seal integrity, and access order at each stop

Identify five route-planning variables (traffic, known incident locations, police coverage, time windows, alternate routes) and describe how each changes the plan
Your checkpoint
A one-page standard operating procedure for a two-stop CIT run, including loading diagram and role handover points
Cash-in-transit procedures, secure loading, and route planning & Threat awareness, robbery prevention, and incident response
Conduct a written threat assessment of three robbery typologies (follow-from-bank, ambush at the door, insider tip-off) and name the observable warning signs of each
Build a pre-stop reconnaissance checklist a crew can run in under 60 seconds before leaving the vehicle
Write the immediate actions for a robbery in progress, covering personal safety, alarm activation, description capture, and post-incident scene preservation
Explain the anti-tailgating and seal-verification routines that defeat the most common insider and outsider schemes
Your checkpoint
A robbery-prevention and incident-response card that fits on one page and covers three scenarios
Threat awareness, robbery prevention, and incident response & Communication, reporting, and cooperation with police and authorities
Draft a factual incident report from a written scenario, separating observed facts from inference and avoiding conclusory language
Specify what information police need first on arrival (location, persons, weapons, direction of flight, injuries) and in what order to give it
Describe the correct boundaries of cooperation with police: what a guard may and may not do during an investigation or a pursuit
Practise a two-minute verbal briefing to a dispatcher and record it, then review it against a checklist of required elements
Your checkpoint
One written incident report and one recorded two-minute briefing, both scored against a self-made checklist
Role, duties, and professional ethics of the CIT security guard & De-escalation, conflict management, and public-facing conduct
Write the guard's duty list for a typical shift and mark which duties are legal obligations, which are employer policy, and which are professional custom
Analyse three ethical dilemmas (a colleague cutting corners on seals, a customer offering a bribe, an aggressive customer filming you) and state the defensible response for each
Apply a de-escalation sequence (positioning, tone, pacing, offering options, exit) to two written conflict scenarios
List five public-facing behaviours that build or destroy trust and explain the effect of each on a real CIT interaction
Your checkpoint
A one-page professional-conduct and de-escalation guide with three worked dilemmas
Occupational health, safety, and emergency first aid & Threat awareness, robbery prevention, and incident response
Assemble a personal first-aid action sequence for the three most likely CIT injuries: gunshot or knife wound, vehicle collision, and cardiac arrest
Describe the correct response to a fire or hazardous-material situation in or near an armoured vehicle, including evacuation and load security
Identify the ergonomic and fatigue risks of long shifts and write three personal rules to manage them
Run a tabletop drill of a combined emergency (robbery with injury) and time each response step
Your checkpoint
A first-aid and emergency action card plus a timed tabletop drill log with at least three lessons learned
Legal framework for private security and cash-in-transit in Belgium & Cash-in-transit procedures, secure loading, and route planning & Threat awareness, robbery prevention, and incident response

Recite the legal citations, use-of-force ladder, and incident-report elements without notes
