To enhance each graduates skills for overseas PSD roles, we offer additional courses and modules that are delivered separately, some are Highfield accredited courses, such as the Level 3 International Award in Emergency First Aid at Work.

The Hostile Environment Close Protection Operators module (HECPO).

Firearms Competency & Live - Fire Skills module.

Further operational enhancements are available, including, vehicle tactics / VCQB, CQB refreshers, comms, fieldcraft etc.

Our instructors are routinely deployed on live operations and their knowledge and skills are constantly tested and updated in real world environments, so whether you want to build on your current skills, learn some new ones or you simply need to 'knock the rust off', our team are here to help and guide you.
