This new Level 2 Award in Counter Terrorism Protective Security Awareness qualification has been created for the frontline staff who see your venue every day and will be the first to notice when something is wrong. It is designed for the people who are often on the frontline but who are not required to carry out formal counter-terrorism risk assessments.
It provides learners with the essential knowledge and practical awareness required to help cultivate a safer, more secure environment in line with emerging counter‑terrorism expectations and the UK’s Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (Martyn’s Law).
No prior experience is required, and it builds awareness of how to recognise potential threats, spot suspicious behaviour, and respond appropriately if an incident occurs. Learners gain practical understanding of how to report concerns correctly and the actions required should a security incident take place.
With practical guidance and real‑world scenarios, this qualification empowers organisations to enhance their safety culture by equipping all public facing staff whether in hospitality, facilities, front‑of‑house or security, with a clear understanding of their responsibilities in identifying risks and responding to security incidents.

This course is aimed at staff who contribute to creating a safe and secure environment but are not responsible for carrying out formal counter‑terrorism risk assessments.
It is well‑suited to front‑line and customer‑facing personnel, security operatives, event staff and stewards, facilities and estates teams, supervisors, team leaders, volunteers, contractors, and anyone with public‑facing duties, including hospitality, facilities, front‑of‑house and security roles.
It also supports individuals who need a foundational understanding of Martyn’s Law within their organisation.
There are no entry requirements, making it accessible to anyone preparing for the new legislation.
Multiple Award-Winning Safety & Security Risk Management Specialists: Trusted by Government, Defence, Nuclear, Public, and National Health Authorities.
Short one-day course: Minimal operational disruption. One day per group, content designed to be easy to understand and apply.
Supports Martyn’s Law Training: Directly aligned to the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 and the staff awareness training duty.
Positive security culture development: Moving staff from passive observers to informed reporters, the most effective fundamental tool in CT prevention.
Evidence of Assessed Training: Ofqual-regulated certification provides auditable evidence for auditiors, insurers and the SIA.
Progression Route to Level 3: Learners ready to go further can progress to the NaCTSO endorsed Level 3 CTPSaP.
Free Resit Included: Every learner receives a free resit if they do not pass first time. No hidden costs, no pressure.
NOTE:
This Level 2 Award is not a replacement for the Level 3 qualification. It was created in response to clear market demand for a shorter, accredited counter‑terrorism awareness programme for frontline staff whose roles do not require the depth of training delivered at Level 3.
This qualification serves a different purpose for a different audience. Organisations that need formal counter‑terrorism risk assessment capability, particularly those operating under the Enhanced Tier of Martyn’s Law should continue to utilise the Level 3 Award in Counter-Terrorism Protective Security and Preparedness course.
