The Client
The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is a government-supported organisation tasked with improving and maintaining standards in the security industry. After many successful projects aimed at security operatives, the SIA devised a scheme to help small security businesses.
The Requirement
The SIA wanted a series of e-learning modules intended to assist small businesses with the general principles of British standards associated with their area of work. The British Standards Institute (BSI) produces standards for almost every industry. Sometimes these standards can be difficult for small businesses to achieve due to the limited resources they have. The e-learning courses proposed by the SIA sought to address this by providing a large amount of training in an easy-to-use format.
Our Solution
Highfield e-learning called on its expertise in the security industry to produce 7 e-learning programs for the SIA. Developed in HTML to ensure compliance with the accessibility requirements of central government, these courses were developed and rigorously tested throughout 2013. These courses form part of the SIA’s approved contractor scheme and will be an essential component in raising the standards in the security industry.
