Training 4 Employment can train you to be a security professional. If you take one look at our courses, you’ll see the wide range of careers we can put you on the path towards. You’ll be fully accredited and ready to jump into the big world of the security sector by the time you are finished with us.

But there are of course ways to take the knowledge and skills T4E provide and take them on further. These are courses that can help you move further into the management side of the security business, or take you down the more theory heavy road. Here are a selection of courses you may want to look into after your time with T4E is up.

Criminology

LearningCriminology delves more into the psychology of crime. It deals with the responses to crime, but also why criminals do what they do. It tries to narrow things down to a science, by looking at the causes of crime, the nature of crimes, and the repercussions of crime.

It is a big part of the security world, including police work. “Prevention is better than cure” is a great phrase to keep in mind here – if criminologists can figure out the causes of crime, steps can be taken to prevent it. One neighbourhood playing hosts to a number of criminals? Then look to make changes that make it a less crime ridden area. Criminologists work hard on the causes of crime, and the ways to deal with those responsible by looking into better rehabilitation programmes. Their work makes life easier for everyone.

Security

Desk workA newer course found in Universities, this is a course designed to help mould the modern security business man. While it will look at skills we teach here at T4E, it also looks at the business management side of things.

It also looks to give you comprehensive knowledge of everything a modern security manager needs to know, including international law, cyber security, investigation and fraud prevention.

The two courses above are ideal for anybody who already had training in the security world, such as Training 4 Employment graduates. But if you’re looking to get into security for the first time, and don’t know if your background is suited to the field, here are some courses that could pay dividends when you apply to T4E.

 

Psychology – Teaching similar skills to those found in criminology courses, a psychology course can give you an added edge when it comes to devising why the security techniques you are learning are being used.

Sports – Being physically fit is never a bad thing in the security world, and may in fact be essential for some security firms.

Human Resources – A lot of security is centred in customer care and hospitality. A HR degree shows that you have people skills, which can be a huge benefit in the security world.
