Another visit to City & Guild in London yesterday to sign of the question bank the Close Protection training consultants have been working on over the Fall. The SIA apparently want the new courses, which include Close Protection, Door Supervision, CCTV and Security Guarding, to go live with the new format of two units from the 31st January 2010.
I am not sure the Security Industry training bodies across the sectors will be ready for a January start for the new courses, and certainly some of the awarding bodies are looking for an extension to fulfill their obligation to the SIA mandate.
Some of the new Close Protection questions were tested on our most recent Close Protection course and most came out as favourable questions, challenging the candidates knowledge with positive results.

Slovenia Close Protection Training via DSG
I am off to Slovenia next week to discuss the potential for a satellite DSG Close Protection training centre out in the Balkans. The course will then include a 3 day firearms training package mainly for shorts (hand guns) like 9mm CZ, Glock etc. The new courses will start from next year when the first UK based DSG course starts, the firearms will be an add on for those wishing to take it.

The last close protection course to be run by DSG Consultants in 2009, will run over 16 days from: 9th - 24th November 2009.
The course will be run in Bristol from our superb military facilities in the affluent Bristol suburb of Clifton.

SIA License Changes
In 2010, the SIA will be changing the structure of the all SIA licensing courses. Myself and Goose have been working with City & Guilds throughout 2009 putting together the new Close Protection course that all close protection training organisations will have to teach. The finished article has been put out to the other awarding bodies for scrutiny and now having passed that, is with the SIA for approval.
It has been excellent working with Goose and City & Guilds and being at the forefront of Close Protection licensing in the UK. Many people have always felt the course was based on more military and individual thinking. What we have done is hopefully standardise the course according to the brief the SIA gave us, so all have equal access and a chance to benefit from a more generic course structure, based not only on our own experiences, but those from other CP bodies like NASP (National Association of Security Professionals), who have provided invaluable support over this exercise.”

Delta Awarded BA Director's Commendation
I recently was invited to meet with General Manager Kieran Graham of the British Airways Maintenance unit at Cardiff Airport, for a very worthy Director’s Commendation presentation to the Delta Team.
Our security team worked round the clock in February when the severe weather and snow closed many UK airports, leaving Cardiff as one of the few left open, almost trebling the normal workload of the team and the Delta Manager on site Bob Hayman.
The client Kieran Graham said of the Delta team, “It’s not only that day that we need to thank the security team for, but every single day; they do a superb job of securing the site and looking after us day in, day out. They really are the best security team I have ever worked with.”

Delta Awarded SIA ACS In CCTV
Recent SIA ACS Audit gives Delta Security another industry first… the only company in the UK on the ACS list to have the four accredited sectors: Security / Door Supervision / CCTV / Close Protection.
We are over the moon with this accolade, and it keeps the opposition guessing. In these times of uncertainty you have to be the best you can possibly be, or you simply won’t survive!
