Training Team
"You are all professionals with a vision of delivering outstanding courses."
Security Manager, British American Tobacco
The ARC training team includes three full-time trainers, all of whom are dual certified CPP and PSP and each an expert in a number of specialist security management disciplines.
The “core” trainers are supported by an associate panel of approximately ten part-time trainers, each a practising expert in his or her field. A number of part-time trainers deliver courses in specialised areas of security management, such as IT Security, Investigations and Fraud, while others contribute as guest presenters on generic security management programmes.
The fact that the associate panels are all practicing consultants in their respective disciplines means that they are able to bring the benefit of up-to-date case experience to the classroom.
The training team is led by David Cresswell and trainer coordination and programme allocation is the responsibility of Janet Ward.
“We shall always remain grateful for the wonderful treatment we received from your team - the ARC training team is indeed a security and human management team.”
Security Manager, NLNG
