Training and consultancy

Security training

Cardinal provides professional security training and education to corporate organisations, NGOs and individuals. Courses are delivered by internationally and locally certified instructors, using methods drawn from current operational training. Training can take place at our facility or at your premises.

Our courses draw on the same training our own officers, drivers and close protection officers receive, and can be tailored to your team, your sites and the risks you face. Ask us about training in:
