Courses in Mackay - Queensland

CPP20218 Certificate II in Security Operations is designed for new entrants to the security industry seeking the training required to apply for a Queensland security provider licence, including the Security Officer (Unarmed), Security Officer (Monitoring) and Crowd Controller licence functions. Queensland legislation requires people performing regulated security work to hold the appropriate security provider licence.

The Queensland Office of Fair Trading (OFT) administers security provider licensing and determines whether an applicant meets the requirements for the licence and functions being sought. Completion of CPP20218 Certificate II in Security Operations provides the prescribed training for relevant Queensland security provider licence applications but does not guarantee that a licence will be issued.

The qualification is suitable for people from a wide range of backgrounds, including new entrants to the security industry, former military, police or corrections personnel, people seeking a career change, those interested in security, crowd control or protective services, and individuals considering future careers in policing, defence or corrections.

An online student application must be submitted before enrolment in the full qualification. This allows BARS Training Australia to assess the applicant’s suitability for the training, identify individual support or reasonable adjustment needs, consider opportunities for recognition of prior learning or credit transfer and, where applicable, assess eligibility for Queensland Government subsidised training.

BARS Training Australia is not registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS).

Overseas students studying in Australia on a student visa who are required to undertake training with a CRICOS-registered provider are therefore not eligible to enrol in this course with BARS Training Australia.

BARS Training Australia (RTO No. 32061) delivers CPP20218 Certificate II in Security Operations using a practical, industry-focused training and assessment approach designed to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence required to undertake entry-level security duties safely and professionally.

Course Duration

This course is delivered through a combination of pre-course self-paced learning and one full day of face-to-face group training and assessment. Participants are required to complete the supplied pre-course learning activities before attending the practical session and must attend and actively participate in the full 8-hour face-to-face training and assessment day.

Pre-course learning provides participants with the underpinning knowledge required to prepare for the practical component of the course. During the face-to-face session, participants apply their knowledge and demonstrate the required cash-in-transit skills through trainer demonstrations, practical activities, role-plays, simulated workplace scenarios, group discussions and assessment activities.

Practical training and assessment includes inspecting and testing cash-in-transit security equipment, preparing for cash-in-transit operations, applying security procedures and demonstrating the safe collection, transfer, loading, unloading and delivery of cash and valuables in secured and unsecured environments. Participants must successfully complete both the required pre-course learning and all face-to-face training and assessment activities to satisfy the course requirements.

Course Requirements

There are no formal training prerequisites for this Cash-in-Transit Skill Set. Participants require sufficient language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills to understand security procedures, follow written and verbal instructions, complete required documentation and participate in the knowledge and practical assessment activities. BARS Training Australia assesses these requirements prior to enrolment and can provide appropriate learning support and reasonable adjustment where required.

Participants are encouraged to review the BARS Training Australia Student Handbook before enrolment. The Handbook provides important information about the training experience, including student support, reasonable adjustment, training and assessment, complaints and appeals, refunds and participant rights and responsibilities.
