This qualification is suitable for individuals who already hold a Queensland Security Licence and wish to deepen and broaden their skills and knowledge in security operations and lead security teams in the field. It provides a pathway to further learning and work in various security roles and settings, including security risk management.

Security officers at this level provide leadership in a team environment, operate under limited supervision, and use discretion and judgement in known and unpredictable work contexts. They take responsibility for their own outputs in work and learning, and limited responsibility for the output of others in the work team.

Please note that enrolling in or completing this course does not qualify you for licensing.

To obtain a security licence, you must first complete your Certificate II in Security Operations and then apply for your Security Providers Licence – Class 1.
