Bookings are now open for the SFJ Awards Level 3 Award in Counter-Terrorism Protective Security and Preparedness (CTPSaP), delivered by Skills for Justice Training as an approved provider.
This nationally recognised qualification is the only one of its kind endorsed by Counter-Terrorism Policing and the National Counter-Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO). It has been developed to support organisations in strengthening protective security capability and preparedness across public-facing environments – an increasingly critical priority across both public and private sectors.
As the UK Sector Skills Council for Justice, Skills for Justice Training brings a distinct perspective to delivery – embedded within the professional framework that underpins protective security standards, with a clear understanding of the intent and expectations behind the national standard.
What the qualification covers
The five-day, tutor-led programme introduces the core principles of counter-terrorism protective security and preparedness, including:
- Understanding terrorist threats and attack methodologies
- Interpreting counter-terrorism threat assessments
- Identifying and applying mitigation strategies
- Contributing to risk assessments and preparedness planning
- Developing written recommendations to strengthen security
Learners are assessed through a multiple-choice examination, written assignment and professional discussion.
Further course details can be found on our website.
Learn from experienced professionals
Delivery is led by expert trainers with decades of frontline experience across counter-terrorism policing, protective security, crisis response and professional development – bringing real-world insight into every session and ensuring learning is grounded in operational reality.
Book your place
Protecting people, places and publicly accessible environments is now a shared organisational responsibility. As expectations continue to evolve, organisations must be equipped not only with awareness, but with the capability to assess risk, implement proportionate measures and respond effectively.
Classroom-based delivery is now available, with limited places on upcoming cohorts.
