CPP20218 Certificate II in Security Operations

Security Guard & Crowd Controller

The CPP20218 Certificate II in Security Operations qualification provides you with the skills and accreditation you need to work in the security industry as a non-armed security guard or crowd controller. It will give you the skills to manage the security and safety of others in a variety of circumstances, including guarding and patrolling a privately owned property. You’ll also be qualified to provide security at a licenced venue, including tasks such as screening customers on entry, monitoring the behaviour of patrons, and escorting people off the premises when required.

In addition, the Certificate II in Security Operations serves as a gateway to further training for more specialised professional security roles, such as:

Armed guard
Cash-in-transit
Close personal protection
Operations in control rooms
Handling guard dogs
