“Awareness on dealing with potentially dangerous people, deterring theft, and evacuation and invacuation techniques and practices. Very worthwhile and under appreciated area. Thank you.”
“Raising awareness of our responsibility for security. Very worthwhile and much appreciated. Thank you.”
“Learning how to be more aware of suspicious behaviour in the workplace. Great informative session.”
Every learner follows the same five stages. Stages 1–3 build one consistent way of thinking about threat, risk and decisions; Stages 4 and 5 take you into leading, assuring and making specialist decisions.
Current status: the course is not yet a regulated qualification. Aegis is working with an awarding organisation towards certification, and no approval has been confirmed. Until then, learners who pass receive the Aegis Certified Security Practitioner certificate from Aegis RDA, and the stage numbers show the intended level of difficulty rather than a regulated award.

Day 1 · Stage 1 paper
Stage 3, Apply: evidence to decision with CLEAR, defensible ratings and decision statements.

Not yet. Aegis is working with an awarding organisation towards certification of the course. No approval has been confirmed and we can't guarantee the outcome or timing. For now, learners who pass receive the Aegis Certified Security Practitioner certificate from Aegis RDA. If certification is confirmed, we will explain how earlier completions relate to it.
No. We are taking names only at this stage. Registering interest puts you on the list for the first course in early 2027. We will contact you with dates, venue and booking details, and you decide then. Employers can register interest on behalf of their staff.
The first course starts in early 2027. Call 07436 165 488 or email info@aegisrda.co.uk to put your name down, with no obligation to book, or ask us anything about the course first.
