Yes! Security professionals rely more on observation skills, quick decision-making, and confidence than size. Many roles, such as CCTV monitoring and concierge security, do not require physical confrontation. Most security guards and door supervisors also don’t typically engage in physical confrontation when on duty, as the job mostly requires critical thinking and conflict resolution skills.

Yes, the training includes a module on conflict management in the private security industry, covering techniques for identifying conflict, de-escalation strategies, and tips for recognising risks.

No, there are no height requirements for security jobs. What matters is your ability to handle situations professionally, enforce rules, and follow security protocols effectively.
