The Diploma in Security and Public Safety programme builds on the Certificate in Security and Public Safety programme by providing advanced and specialized practical and tactical knowledge in supervising and managing security and public safety affairs as well as designing and implementing appropriate interventions. It provides an opportunity for persons to be trained before they enter the security industry while accommodating those who are already on the job.
