Week 2

Physical Security, Perimeter Protection and Surveillance Systems (CCTV, alarms, sensors) & Security Duties, Guard Posting, Access Control and Visitor Management

  • Describe how perimeter protection layers work together (fencing, lighting, gates, turnstiles, boom barriers) and identify the weakest point in a described layout

  • Explain the purpose and limitations of CCTV, video analytics, intruder alarms, motion sensors, and door contacts, and state what a guard must check on each during a shift handover

  • Draw a simple site security layout from a written description, marking entry points, blind spots, camera coverage, and patrol routes

  • Write the actions a guard takes on receiving an alarm activation, from verification to logging and reporting

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn or digitally sketched site security layout with a labelled legend and a short note on three identified blind spots and how to cover them

Week 3

Fire Safety, First Aid and Emergency Response and Evacuation & Industrial Safety, Occupational Health and Hazard Identification

  • Classify fires by the material involved and select the correct extinguisher type for each class

  • Demonstrate the PASS technique for using a fire extinguisher and state the situations in which a guard must evacuate instead of attempting to fight a fire

  • Perform the primary survey sequence (DRABC) and demonstrate recovery position, bleeding control, and basic bandaging on a volunteer

  • Identify at least eight common workplace hazards from written scenarios and rank them by risk using a simple likelihood-by-severity matrix

  • Outline an evacuation plan for a two-storey building, naming assembly points, sweep duties, and the roll-call procedure

Your checkpoint

A two-page emergency response card covering fire action, first aid steps, and evacuation duties, written so a new guard can follow it under pressure

Week 4

Legal Framework, Statutory Duties and Ethical Conduct in Security Work & Communication Skills, Report Writing, Incident Logging and Customer Etiquette

  • Summarise the statutory duties and limits of a private security guard, including powers of arrest, search, detention, and use of force, in plain language

  • Draft an incident report using the who, what, when, where, why, and how structure, with factual, non-opinionated language and correct time notation

  • Write three sample daily occurrence log entries that would stand up to scrutiny in an inquiry

  • Role-play a visitor confrontation and a complaint from a senior resident, and record how you kept tone professional and stayed within your authority

Your checkpoint

A complete incident report and three log entries based on a written scenario, plus a self-checked list of any legal oversteps in your own draft

Week 5

Drills, Physical Fitness, Self-Defence and Unarmed Combat Basics & Industrial Safety, Occupational Health and Hazard Identification

  • Perform a ten-minute warm-up and a basic fitness routine (walking, squats, push-ups, stretching) and record the results

  • Demonstrate the stance, guard position, and safe disengagement technique for escaping a wrist grab or a collar grab without escalating force

  • Explain the principle of proportional response and when disengagement, not confrontation, is the correct action

  • Practise a fire and an evacuation drill end to end, timing the evacuation and noting bottlenecks

Your checkpoint

A drill log recording two practice sessions with timings, repetitions, and a written reflection on what improved and what needs more work

Week 6

Employability Skills, Entrepreneurship and Workplace Documentation & Communication Skills, Report Writing, Incident Logging and Customer Etiquette

  • Draft the documents a guard encounters at work: duty roster acknowledgement, shift handover note, material gate pass, and key register

  • Describe three realistic self-employment paths in the sector (security agency, housekeeping and facility support, security equipment installation and service) and the basic registration and licensing steps for each

  • Practise a five-minute mock interview answer to a situational question about an emergency

Your checkpoint

A complete application pack containing a one-page CV, a covering letter, and one filled-in specimen gate pass and handover note

Week 7

Practical/Project Work, Industrial Exposure and Viva Voce & Introduction to the Private Security Sector and the Role of a Security Guard

  • Assemble a project file on a chosen security topic, with a clear aim, method, observations, and conclusion

  • Write a reflective account of industrial exposure or a site visit, describing posts observed, systems seen, and lessons learned

  • Prepare answers to twenty likely viva questions covering all domains, and rehearse them aloud

  • Revisit the weakest two domains from earlier weeks and redo one practice task for each

Your checkpoint

A completed project file with a two-page industrial exposure report and a written set of twenty viva questions with your own answers

Week 8

Practical/Project Work, Industrial Exposure and Viva Voce & Legal Framework, Statutory Duties and Ethical Conduct in Security Work

Your checkpoint

Two scored mock test papers with correction notes and a submission-ready project file and viva preparation sheet
