The Security Institute reports an endorsement relationship with iSMTA, the International Secure Minds Training Academy.
Speaking at their recent annual conference in London, Security Institute MD David Thorp announced that in furtherance of its ambition to become a byword for educational quality within the security sector the institute has reached its first endorsement agreement with a training organisation.
Thorp said: “We want to work with education and training providers who share our vision of an apprenticeship-to-board-room, full career education model for this profession and the International Secure Minds Training Academy meet that criterion.
“In addition, iSMTA have been strong supporters of our Manifesto for Professional Security and its championing life-long learning, the promotion of standards of excellence at all levels within the profession and the promulgation of career pathways that help people entering the profession see clearly the pathways, options and opportunities that are open to them as they develop their careers.”
The Head of the iSMTA, Tony Maher said: “We are excited about this new relationship. Education is crucial in climbing the professional ladder and we have developed an e-learning based model that offers people with limited time and who may be geographically remote to study for a qualification featuring state of the art learning materials using the most up to date learning platform. The Institute could see the value of this in helping to develop the next generation of security professionals … future members of the Security Institute.”
