Blackburn course

by msecadm4921

The University Centre Blackburn College, The Security Institute and Perpetuity Training announce that completion of the Foundation Degree in Security Management offered by Blackburn also allows the Security Institute’s Diploma in Security Management to be awarded. 

 

 

This is the first time the Diploma course content and learning outcomes have been mapped into a higher educational award. That means two qualifications for one fee, and the Diploma carries an automatic grade of membership (graduate for those with less than five year’s security management experience, and member for those who have five years or more).  While on the course, students will also be eligible for complimentary student membership of the institute.

 

The Lancaster University-validated Foundation Degree in Security Management is new for 2012. The learning will be delivered through online distance learning and up to six three day workshops each year. Start date is October 4 to 6 and the workshops are to run: November 22 to 24, January 24 to 26, March 7 to 9, April 25 to 27, May 15 to 17 and June 27 to 29. The FdA Security Management programme is designed for those already working in security management roles seeking to increase their professionalism. Applicants who do not have an academic history but have relevant work / life experience will be welcomed, say Blackburn.

 

Besides, the college has established partnerships with universities and professional bodies including Lancaster University, University of Central Lancashire, University of Glamorgan, CIPD, CIM CMI, CIPS, ILM and AAT. 

 

Mike Bluestone, Chairman of the Security Institute, pictured, said: ‘We are delighted to be part of this excellent initiative developed with Perpetuity Training and Blackburn College. Working together provides tremendous educational opportunities for students that go the extra mile to offer something more. Marrying a foundation degree with a vocational qualification, and more importantly, Institute membership, will be a real benefit in underpinning a person’s commitment to a career in professional security.’
