View Course →About Corrections & Immigration
Working in corrections or immigration detention requires a specific set of skills: managing complex individuals in confined, high-pressure environments, applying de-escalation techniques, understanding legal powers and limitations, and maintaining professional standards at all times.
Most roles in this sector are within government agencies or large contracted service providers. Employment usually comes before formal qualification — which is why RPL is a common pathway for corrections and immigration staff to obtain their qualifications while already working in the field.
The Detector Dog Handler Skill Set is a specialist qualification for custodial officers trained to work with detector dogs in correctional facilities, supporting contraband detection operations.
