Counter Terrorism Awareness Is Common. Capability Is Rare.

Private Sector Counter Terrorism Practitioner Programme

Understanding the threat is one thing.

Being able to assess risk, interpret requirements, justify decisions and turn them into protective measures that work in the real world is something else.

The Private Sector Counter Terrorism Practitioner Programme is designed to develop that capability.

Built from operational and private sector experience, it develops the judgement and practical understanding to bring clarity to complex security problems, communicate with authority and provide organisations with proportionate, defensible solutions.

Built to Be Used

Frameworks, tools, practical methods and real world examples that help you apply what you learn to existing sites, projects and security responsibilities.

Developed by practitioners who have done what the programme teaches.

Developed Through Practice

Originally developed and delivered as a classroom programme in 2017, the CT Practitioner Programme has since evolved into an accredited on demand programme.

Its content has continued to develop through practitioner experience, lessons learned and learner feedback, while retaining the practical approach it was built around.

Structured Capability | Practitioner Led | Applied Immediately

What You Will Learn

The full programme brings all six units together into one structured practitioner development pathway.

Individual units are also available for professionals who want to develop capability in a specific area.

.

Unit 1: 21st Century Protective Security, Counter Terrorism & Management Systems

Understand how the terrorist threat has changed, what that means for organisations today, and why private sector protective security requires a different approach.

Learn how to turn threat information into organisational decisions and develop a structured approach to planning, designing, implementing and maintaining proportionate protective measures.

You will also learn how to assess potential impact, resources, time and cost, helping determine what may be required before committing to detailed risk analysis and investment.

.

Unit 2: Risk Analysis, Threat Assessment & Protective Security

Develop a structured approach to understanding organisational needs, threats, vulnerabilities and risk, using principles that can be applied across different recognised risk management standards.

Learn how to gather and interpret information, anticipate how threats could develop, assess potential attack methods and make proportionate decisions that can stand up to scrutiny.

You will also learn how to design layered protection, prioritise resources and focus them where they can have the greatest protective effect, turning risk analysis into practical protective security.

 .

Unit 3: Crisis Management, Response & Recovery

Understand how people and organisations react during serious incidents, and use that knowledge to strengthen crisis management, response and recovery.

Learn how to design workable incident response plans, manage critical communications and bring together internal teams, external stakeholders and responding agencies within a coordinated approach.

You will also learn how to establish priorities, manage competing demands and turn planning into a response capability that people can understand and apply under pressure.

 .

Unit 4: Developing Organisational Counter Terrorism Capability

Understand why conventional staff training can fall short, what needs to change, and how a more practical approach can better prepare people for their role in protective security and counter terrorism.

Learn how to build short, targeted training into normal working routines, developing knowledge and confidence without unnecessarily removing people from their operational duties.

You will also learn how to progressively test understanding, decision making and recall under pressure, helping people apply what they have learned when it matters.

 .

Unit 5: Understanding Adversary Tactics & Operating Environment

Understand how terrorists and other hostile actors develop an attack from initial planning through preparation, execution and escape, and where opportunities may exist to identify suspicious activity before an incident occurs.

Learn how to view protective security from the adversary’s perspective, recognise potential indicators and use that understanding to strengthen prevention, detection and protection.

You will also examine the particular challenges of the Night Time Economy and how protective security and counter terrorism measures can be adapted to environments where people, behaviour, operating conditions and risk can change rapidly.

.

Unit 6: Final Practitioner Assessments & Certification

Bring together the knowledge, judgement and practical understanding developed across the programme through two final assessments.

Both assessments must be successfully completed, demonstrating the required standard of understanding and application before the programme is completed and final CPD certification is awarded.

.

Programme Author & Instructor

Anthony Gledhill

The programme draws on more than three decades of operational, corporate and private sector security experience, including 22 years in the British Army and over 19 years working across international businesses and complex operating environments.

That experience spans counter terrorism, protective security, security risk management, crisis response, training and corporate security leadership, including responsibility for protecting people, operations and critical infrastructure.

The programme brings those lessons into the private sector, turning operational experience, established principles and practical know how into capability that professionals can apply in their own organisations.
