Security Courses - Short Courses

Queensland Crowd Controllers and Bodyguards are required to complete specified ongoing training every three years to maintain essential skills in managing conflict, controlling persons safely and providing appropriate first aid. This refresher training helps security personnel maintain current practical skills, reinforce professional responsibilities and respond effectively to challenging situations while minimising the risk of harm to themselves, patrons and others.

The required ongoing training includes CPPSEC3101 Manage conflict and security risks using negotiation, CPPSEC3121 Control persons using empty hand techniques, and either HLTAID011 Provide First Aid or HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid. These requirements apply in addition to the separate annual CPR training requirement for relevant Queensland security licence holders.

Who Should Enrol?

This course is designed for people who currently hold a Queensland security provider licence with the Crowd Controller and/or Bodyguard function and are required to complete their three-year ongoing training requirements. Queensland Crowd Controllers and Bodyguards must maintain specified competencies through ongoing training. The required three-year training comprises

  • CPPSEC3101 Manage conflict and security risks using negotiation,
  • CPPSEC3121 Control persons using empty hand techniques, and
  • either HLTAID011 Provide First Aid or HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid.

The dates by which ongoing training must be completed are provided with the security provider licence. Licence holders are responsible for completing the required training and providing the required evidence to the Queensland Office of Fair Trading within the applicable timeframe.

Participants may be required to establish priorities, manage the immediate safety of an incident, communicate with emergency services, monitor casualty conditions and coordinate assistance from other first aiders.

These activities allow participants to apply their knowledge while developing confidence in managing more complex first aid situations. Participants who successfully complete all training and assessment requirements will receive nationally recognised Statements of Attainment for:

HLTAID014 – Provide Advanced First Aid
HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid
HLTAID009 – Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid is delivered through a combination of pre-course self-paced learning and two consecutive full days of face-to-face practical training and assessment. Participants are provided with learning resources to complete before attending the scheduled face-to-face training, allowing them to develop the underpinning knowledge required for the advanced practical component of the course.

Pre-course learning introduces relevant first aid principles and provides participants with access to learning resources and study support.

Participants are encouraged to contact BARS Training Australia if they experience difficulty with the pre-course material or require additional learning support or reasonable adjustment.

The face-to-face component has a strong practical focus and includes trainer demonstrations, hands-on exercises, role-plays, simulated emergency scenarios and group activities. Participants practise responding to more complex first aid situations, managing casualties and incidents, working with other first aiders and using appropriate first aid and emergency response equipment.

Participants must successfully complete all required knowledge and practical assessment activities and demonstrate the skills required by the applicable units of competency.

Note: Participants are required to complete the prescribed pre-course learning and attend both consecutive days of face-to-face practical training and assessment.

Participants must be able to demonstrate advanced first aid skills individually in realistic scenarios and simulations that reflect the requirements of the units of competency.

Practical training and assessment includes activities conducted at floor level, including demonstrating CPR on a manikin in accordance with the required assessment conditions.

Participants must have sufficient language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills to complete the learning and assessment activities. BARS Training Australia assesses these requirements prior to enrolment and can provide appropriate learning support and reasonable adjustment where required.

Participants who may require assistance or adjustment to participate in practical activities are encouraged to discuss their individual requirements with BARS Training Australia before enrolment. Reasonable adjustment will be considered where appropriate; however, adjustments cannot remove or alter the essential requirements of the units of competency.

Participants under 18 years of age are required to provide consent from a parent or legal guardian.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning acknowledges relevant skills and knowledge gained through previous training, employment or other experience. Participants who believe they can demonstrate the required current competency may apply for RPL. RPL requires sufficient, valid, authentic and current evidence and is subject to assessment by BARS Training Australia.

Where training is being undertaken to satisfy a Queensland security licensing or ongoing training requirement, participants should be aware that separate regulatory requirements may apply to the recognition or acceptance of training. The Queensland Office of Fair Trading determines licensing requirements and whether training evidence is acceptable for licensing purposes.
