RTO Course

On completion of this skill set, participants will be able to:

• Apply lawful, justified, and proportionate use of force
• Assess threats and manage dynamic security incidents
• Use batons and handcuffs safely, effectively, and in accordance with industry standards
• Apply de-escalation and communication strategies to reduce risk
• Conduct post-incident reporting and adhere to WHS and legal obligations
  This training ensures officers are operationally competent, confident, and compliant with regulatory requirements.

Participants must:

• Hold a current Queensland Security Licence (Unarmed or Crowd Controller) or equivalent
• Provide valid photo identification
• Have basic English language proficiency to complete training and assessment
  This course is for licensed officers only and does not grant a security licence on its own.

This skill set includes the following nationally recognised units:

• CPPSEC3110 – Control persons using batons
• CPPSEC3111 – Restrain persons using handcuffs

These units meet the industry standard for security officers authorised to carry and use defensive equipment.

• • • Duration: 1–2 days
    • Format: Face-to-face practical training supported by theory components
    • Location: Delivered across Queensland by qualified tactical security trainers

    Training incorporates realistic scenarios that reflect modern operational environments.

Participants may continue their professional development into:

• CPP31318 – Certificate III in Security Operations
• CPP31418 – Certificate III in Close Protection Operations
  This skill set forms a strong foundation for advanced security, close protection, and tactical roles.

• • • Fee for Service: $300
      Includes practical training, assessment, and certification.

Completion of this skill set does not itself license a participant to carry batons or handcuffs.
However, these units satisfy the training requirement for security employers and licensing authorities that authorise the use of defensive equipment.
Participants must still hold a valid Queensland Security Licence with the appropriate functions to use this equipment legally.

Upon successful completion, participants will receive a Certificate for the units:

• CPPSEC3110 – Control persons using batons
• CPPSEC3111 – Restrain persons using handcuffs

These competencies meet industry and regulatory requirements for licensed security officers carrying batons and handcuffs for operational duties.
