Security personnel play a critical role in protecting people and assets, so ensuring they are properly trained and certified prior to deployment is critical.

At SAFECROWDS, providing well-trained and certified security personnel has been central to our success and has led us to establish the SAFECROWDS Academy: we are a Highfield Qualifications and QNUK accredited training centre delivering courses to our teams, our security industry peers, and new candidates entering the security sector. Our courses are also undertaken by those in other sectors for example, corporate, retail and hospitality.
