Course Overview
The TAS Security Agent (Individual) course delivers the skill set required by Consumer, Building and Occupational Services (CBOS) for individuals who want to operate as a self-employed security provider or manage a licensed security business in Tasmania.
Holding a Security and Investigations Agent (Individual) Licence allows you to operate your own security business — providing guarding, patrol, crowd control, bodyguarding, or investigations services under your own entity, without being employed by a master licence holder.
This course delivers 8 nationally recognised units covering security management, WHS leadership, risk assessment, supervision, and business planning.
