Struggling to handle high-tension confrontations with confidence? It is draining to feel physically and emotionally exhausted after every shift because you lack the advanced psychological tools to defuse aggression before it boils over. We understand that in the security sector, your safety depends entirely on your ability to command a situation without always resorting to force.
The Level 3 Award in Conflict Management is an OFQUAL-regulated qualification designed for professionals who need to manage, prevent, or teach conflict resolution strategies. It covers advanced communication, proactive risk assessment, and the psychology of aggression, providing the high-level credentials required for supervisory roles or becoming an SIA-certified trainer.
At BS Security, we transform your “street-smart” experience into a professional, accredited qualification that commands respect from employers across the UK.
What is Level 3 Conflict Management?
This is not a basic “how-to” for handling a difficult customer. It is a “Train the Trainer” qualification. To teach SIA license-linked courses, you must possess a recognized conflict management trainer certificate. This Level 3 Award ensures you understand the psychology of aggression and the legal frameworks surrounding the use of force.
Technical Course Overview:
- Qualification Level: Level 3 RQF (Regulated Qualifications Framework)
- Accreditation: Ofqual-regulated via TQUK or Pearson.
- Total Qualification Time (TQT): Approximately 30-40 hours.
- Prerequisites: You generally need a Level 3 Teaching Qualification (like the AET).
Instructor’s Insight: Don’t confuse this with the Level 2 unit found in the Door Supervisor course. This Level 3 version is about delivery. You aren’t just learning to de-escalate; you are learning how to evaluate how others de-escalate.
