Frequently asked questions

Does Agilient run public security training courses?

No. All Agilient courses are delivered in-house for one organisation at a time, so individual places cannot be booked. Each course is tailored to the organisation’s policies, sites and people.

Where are the courses delivered?

At your premises or a venue you choose, in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and regional Australia, or live online through Microsoft Teams and other platforms. Scenarios are run in your own workplaces wherever possible.

How long are the courses?

Duration is agreed with each organisation, from a two-hour briefing to a one, one and a half or two-day program.

Can our own staff deliver the training?

Yes. Agilient runs train-the-trainer sessions and can help your learning and development team plan the conversion of a course into an online module, so the capability stays in-house.

Can a course be tailored or combined?

Yes. Content, length and examples are agreed with you. Courses are often combined, for example de-escalation with managing physical aggression, or threat assessment with security risk assessment.

Are the courses accredited?

No, and that is deliberate. Rather than a fixed syllabus that can date quickly, each course is designed and delivered by practitioners with hands-on experience, tailored to your organisation, and built on case studies, active learning and practical exercises.

How do I arrange a course?

Send an enquiry through the contact form with the course, approximate number of participants, location and timing. An Agilient consultant will contact you to scope the course.
