Did You Know?
Irish law requires that anyone working in the security industry must complete an accredited training course and be licenced by the Private Security Authority (PSA) - the statutory body responsible for regulating the security sector in Ireland.
Our Security Courses
All our security courses are registered and certified by the Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) through the Irish Security Training Association (ISTA).
To complete a FETAC security course with us, you need to undertake 16 hours of Basic Job Training and pass an assessment, after which you can become registered by applying for your PSA security licence. You will also receive a FETAC Level 4 certificate and a numbered I.D. tag.
