Level 3 Award in Counter-Terrorism Protective Security and Preparedness

This qualification has been designed and developed in partnership with the National Counter-Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) and is the only qualification that has the endorsement of both NaCTSO and Counter-Terrorism Policing (CTP).
