Two new routes into a new career, now open through BPS Training.

We're proud to announce that BPS Training has been accepted as both an ELCAS approved learning provider and a Blue Light Card partner.

For those leaving the Armed Forces, you can now use the Enhanced Learning Credits you've earned through your service towards our courses.

For police, fire, ambulance and every other public service, Blue Light Card holders now get 10% off every BPS training course.

Through our Policing to Private Sector scheme, we've seen how little support exists for those leaving public service. Few transferable qualifications and very little encouragement to move on to new opportunities. This is our small part in helping level that playing field.

Our close protection, behavioural detection and medical courses are delivered by a team made up entirely of former police and military, who have made the same transition themselves.

Get in touch via message or visit our website to find out more.

Today we completed our first BDO course for a new client, one of the world’s leading corporations. Delivered privately in central London, it marks the start of a new training and operational partnership we’re extremely proud of.

As always, the live practical phase didn’t disappoint. Our students spotted a suspicious male abandoning a vehicle, which led to a significant and highly impressive police response. They went on to disrupt active gangs of pickpockets and bag thieves, and assisted British Transport Police in the hunt for an offender wanted for multiple offences, including robbery.

Real behaviour, real outcomes. That is what our training is built on.

Three great days, a great view, great students and the beginning of a hugely exciting new client relationship. Thank you to everyone involved, and to our new partners for their trust. Watch this space.

It is a pleasure to once again be back in South East London, delivering our accredited Level 3 Behavioural Detection Officer (BDO) course to officers from the Metropolitan Police.

Trusted and recognised across both the public and private sectors, our programme continues to provide what we believe is one of the globes leading behavioural detection training packages, combining operational experience with practical, evidence-based techniques that can be applied immediately in the field on several live exercises and into live operations post course.

Today’s input was expertly led by Marc Cananur, taking officers through the intricacies of behavioural detection, from establishing behavioural baselines and recognising anomalies to understanding the science and psychology that underpin effective detection and engagement.

We are proud to continue supporting policing with specialist training that enhances operational capability, improves public safety, and develops officers’ confidence in identifying and managing behavioural cues in dynamic environments.
