We are pleased to announce that the University of Greenwich is now delivering NPSA’s Security Control Room (SCR) courses. Through this partnership, the same Operators course is now offered at a reduced price of £1,500 + VAT.
These courses provide world-class immersive scenarios designed by NPSA (the UK Government’s National Technical Authority for protective security), giving you the critical skills needed to respond to serious security incidents.
NPSA have undertaken more than a decade of research to understand how organisations can effectively respond to terrorist incidents that happen at or near to their premises. This research has identified that organisations that are prepared, can save lives by acting fast, and that the only way to do this is for organisations to take steps in advance to ensure their staff are prepared.
NPSA have designed two courses: the Security Control Room Operators Course and the Security Control Room Managers Course. These courses are designed to help organisations better prepare their people to respond, if an incident was to occur. Details of these courses, including who each of the courses is suitable for, can be found below and throughout this website.
Security Control Room Operators Course
The Security Control Room Operators (SCR) course has been designed by NPSA to focus on the roles and responsibilities of operators working within a security control room to enhance their knowledge and readiness to deal with a terrorist incident. The course is specifically designed for SCR operators who work within national infrastructure sites, academia, government and crowded places/public premises and events. It is also valuable for those directly responsible for the SCR operators.
The 5-day course is a mixture of presentations, workshops and immersive exercises in which delegates will work and learn alongside their peers from other venues and organisations.
This impactful learning experience will provide practical skills required to effectively respond to a terrorist incident.
Payment by credit or debit card will be required at the point of booking to secure your place. Please note, travel and accommodation costs are not included and are the responsibility of the delegate.

Security Control Room Managers Course
The one-day Managers Course is for managers or individuals with overall responsibility for Security Control Rooms and incident management.
The course is designed following NPSA guidance related to terrorist incidents. Research has identified that most deaths and injuries occur within the first few minutes of a terrorist incident. The research has also shown that the performance of the SCR can be improved by following the guidance developed by NPSA.
Payment by credit or debit card will be required at the point of booking to secure your place. Please note, travel and accommodation costs are not included and are the responsibility of the delegate.
