More Than Security Training

A career with real opportunities.

Working in security is about much more than standing on a door.

Security professionals protect people, support businesses and help create safe environments in every town and city across the UK.

Whether you're welcoming visitors to a corporate office, supporting patients in a hospital, protecting a construction site or helping thousands of people enjoy a concert safely, every day is different.

The private security industry offers a wide range of career opportunities with employers looking for professional, reliable people who can communicate confidently and remain calm under pressure.

If you're looking for a career with variety, responsibility and opportunities to progress, security could be the perfect choice.

Your journey starts long before your SIA licence.

We start differently.

Most training providers begin with the qualification. We don't.

At Teach Vocation, we believe employers are looking for much more than someone who has passed an assessment. They're looking for people who communicate well, behave professionally, stay calm under pressure and work confidently with others.

That's why we've designed our Security Routeway differently.

Every stage of the programme has a purpose. Each phase is designed to develop the confidence, behaviours and practical skills that employers tell us they value, before you move on to your industry qualifications.

By the time you complete the programme, you'll have developed not only the qualifications needed to work in security, but also the confidence to begin your new career.
