Commentary:

Physical intervention is becoming mandatory, the SIA have stated that all security staff will need to be trained in it, and if they qualified before 2010, they will be required to update their skills in order to renew their license. This course will greatly benefit anyone working in a security setting who may have to use physical interventions as a part of their normal role.
