Course overview

The Licensed Establishment Security Essentials short course is designed to build the practical skills and confidence of security personnel working in licensed venues such as hotels, clubs, casinos, entertainment venues and events.

The course focuses on the key responsibilities of security officers in managing patron behaviour, supporting venue safety, responding to incidents and meeting legal and operational requirements within licensed environments.

You will develop practical skills in communication, conflict de-escalation, managing intoxicated patrons, crowd control, emergency response and incident reporting. Through scenario-based learning, the course contextualises these outcomes to real workplace situations, helping you to apply safe, professional and compliant security practices in busy licensed establishments.
