  • Define the role boundaries of a security guard against those of police and supervisor, listing five tasks a guard must never perform

  • Recite and explain the ten core conduct duties (punctuality, uniform, sobriety, courtesy, confidentiality, no unauthorised detention, no personal profit, reporting, handover, obedience to lawful orders)

  • Summarise the Private Security Agencies Regulation Act (PSARA) licensing chain - agency licence, training requirement, character and antecedents verification, and the guard's own obligations

  • Identify which PSARA duties fall on the agency versus the individual guard and state the consequence of a guard working without a valid licence or training certificate

  • Draft model dialogues for six routine situations (visitor without pass, angry delivery driver, VIP arrival, refusal to show bag, reporting a colleague's lapse, shift handover)

  • Distinguish prohibited conduct (sleeping on duty, accepting gifts, using a client's phone, discussing post details outside work) from acceptable practice in ten case statements

  • Practise a two-minute verbal handover to a relief guard using the SBAR-style order: situation, background, observations, action taken

  • Explain how courtesy and firmness combine when a guard must say no to a request

Your checkpoint

A written script pack of six dialogues plus a recorded or peer-reviewed two-minute handover, scored against a 5-point checklist

Fire Safety, First Aid and Emergency Response & Occupational Health, Safety and Personal Hygiene

  • Classify fires by class (A, B, C, D, electrical) and match each to the correct extinguisher type and the PASS operating sequence

  • Demonstrate the first-aid priorities of DRABC and the correct handling of bleeding, burns, fracture immobilisation and fainting

  • List ten workplace hazards at a guard post (wet floors, loose wiring, poor lighting, heat, lone working, sharp edges) with one control measure each

  • State personal hygiene and fitness-for-duty rules including uniform cleanliness, hand hygiene, rest, hydration, and reporting illness

  • Operate and describe the standard equipment set: metal detector, handheld scanner, X-ray baggage screening, turnstile, boom barrier, CCTV, access card and visitor management register

  • Explain access-control procedure end to end - identity check, purpose, pass issue, escort rule, material in/out check, pass surrender

  • Apply the principles of good observation: attention, perception, memory, and the reasons eyewitness accounts fail

  • Write factual incident reports using the 5W1H structure, avoiding opinion, hearsay and speculation, and correcting a faulty sample report

  • Record entries in a duty diary, visitor register and occurrence book with correct time, signature and no blank-line gaps

Your checkpoint

Three practice incident reports (theft suspicion, medical emergency, unauthorised entry) marked against a factual-writing rubric, all scoring 8/10 or higher

Week 5

Patrolling, Surveillance and Handling of Incidents and Crowds & Security Equipment, Communication Devices and Access Control

  • Compare fixed post, foot patrol, vehicle patrol and electronic surveillance, stating when each is preferred

  • Plan a patrol route that varies timing and covers blind spots, and justify the variation against predictability risk

  • Sequence the response to an intrusion: observe, do not confront alone, inform control, secure the scene, preserve evidence, record

  • Handle a crowd situation using queue management, barricade placement, calm communication and escalation to supervisor or police

  • Explain CCTV monitoring discipline - camera coverage, privacy limits, evidence preservation and log maintenance

Your checkpoint

A written patrol and incident-response plan for a hypothetical two-gate factory site, including a sketched route and a crowd-handling decision tree

Week 6

Physical Fitness, Drill and Guard Mounting & Occupational Health, Safety and Personal Hygiene

  • Perform and self-assess a daily fitness routine: warm-up, endurance run or brisk walk, strength work and cool-down, with a weekly progression target

  • Describe the sequence of guard mounting: fall-in, roll call, inspection of uniform and equipment, briefing, posting and handing over charge
