Basic Handcuff Training Course

Looking to get your Basic Handcuff Training? Taking the next step in becoming someone who has to use handcuffs as a form of restraint as part of their operational role can be overwhelming, especially when getting the right training.

Get trained to use handcuffs a simple, stress-free process ✅

This Basic Handcuff Training Course is suitable for individuals who are expected to use handcuffs as a form of restraint as part of their operational role.

This 1-day course should be considered as a Basic Introduction to Handcuffing. It covers both practical handcuffing processes and procedures, as well as the legal implications that must be considered when using handcuffs to restrain an individual.

Can security guards legally use handcuffs in the UK?

Actually, anyone can use handcuffs in the UK legally to detain a suspected criminal, or restrict the movement of a dangerous person. As our blog explains, this includes trained security personnel.

Many security professionals choose handcuff training to enhance their skills and employability. It gives your CV that extra edge, and reassures people you work with that you can confidently prevent dangerous individuals from harming others or damaging property.

The course will also help you learn situation management and best judgment, which means you’ll know to only apply handcuffs when it’s necessary. That’s important, because misuse of handcuffs can open you or your employer up to legal challenges, if someone believes the use of handcuffs was excessive.

For example, handcuffing someone who is arguing with you is wrong, whereas handcuffing an individual who is trashing a store or attacking the public means you are acting in the interest of safety and security, in an effort to prevent harm.

This course gives you the knowledge you need to know when to use handcuffs, and how to do so safely at a professional level.

Increase your options ✅

Choose between a variety of exciting roles with your handcuff training in retail security, door supervision, corporate security, and event security - work full-time or part-time

Work flexible hours ⏰

Own your schedule! Being handcuffed trained will allow job flexibility across many roles.

Get hired, fast ⚡️

Employers prefer professionals who have done additional training.

While this course is not a legal requirement, it will enhance your qualifications within the security industry and help make you stand out from the rest.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

✅ Understand the primary reason for handcuffing.

✅ Understand the Criminal Law Act 1967, Common Law, and Human Rights Act 1998.

✅ Understand the medical implications of handcuffing, including positional asphyxia.

✅ Demonstrate how to apply handcuffs to a passive and an aggressive subject.

✅ Demonstrate how to remove handcuffs correctly.

Wonderful experience being trained by…

Asuenimhen Harrison

Nov 06, 2025

"Wonderful experience being trained by Ben McCarty. He knows his job very well. Give us the trainees opportunities to express ourselves, ask questions and respond to them accordingly. But he is sometimes too fast with words that some of us who are not English native speakers sometimes find it a little difficult to follow along. But he’s a great trainer."

Completed the DS Top up course with Get licensed and passed. Adame who trained us was great, very professional and down to earth guy. Even though he’s had various jobs and years of experience in security he just treats you like a equal, no better than anyone attitude which is good. Professional training by trainers who WANT you to pass not a back street company. Will be definitely back again for further training. Thank you.
