Introducing Praesidio’s Training Department

The demand for security training due to terrorism, security threats, espionage and fraud is of current and increasing significance. Improved preventative methods through training, and a better understanding of the ability to be reactive is crucial in reinforcing employment, public safety activities, duty of care, the security of people, facilities, venues, brands, and therefore company success and business continuity.

“Due to a growing demand from clients and current global security threats, we have established a Training Department to further strengthen our ability to support clients fully within corporate and physical security. Being preventive is much more efficient than being reactive – and training is a tremendous tool”, says Susanne Skov Diemer.

Praesidio Group has prosecuted training programmes worldwide and has developed best practices within many areas of risk management and corporate security, and continues to develop new training programmes in order to continuously adapt to the current and future global risk and security situation.  

Target

Our training programmes target governments, corporations, international organisations, NGO’s and individuals and cover the following areas:

• Corporate executives, directors and management.
• Executive advice on protection.
• Guard management and application.
• VIP protection.
• C-TPAT Knowledge and Application.
• Counter Terrorism. Techniques to ensure the right level of corporate protection and implementation  to assist corporations in best practice.
• Executive protection and advisory services.

The overall aim is a comprehensive security based service to provide confidence and protection to clients across a wide range of service requirements including security awareness and the protection of highly populated venues such as shopping malls, private social events, sporting events and concerts, either open air or within arenas.
