If you’re looking to step confidently into the security risk profession or strengthen your operational credibility, this combined pathway offers a clear and practical route forward. By pairing the Physical Security Consultancy Level 4 with the Security Management Consultancy Level 5, you gain both hands-on security knowledge and structured risk management capability.


Throughout the distance learning courses we enable you to achieve a broad and comprehensive understanding of risk management and its associated practices. The goal is to not only significantly improve your skill set and gain a selection of recognised qualifications, but to also develop your practical understanding and widen your future career opportunities. As an example, many of our former students have gone on to secure senior positions within the 'Big Four' consultancies; Energy and Extractives, Aviation, Defence and Media, as well as other leading risk management organisations. At all levels, our SRMC® courses will also equip you with the skills required to consult in a broad range of risk management and business practices.


The PSMC Level 4 course is aimed at professionals seeking to understand physical security management, whether with a view to entering the industry or for risk professionals from other sectors or levels seeking to enhance their understanding of this field. It covers the principles and concepts behind physical security management and their application, what physical security measures are and how they are used.


Following on from the Level 4 PSMC, the SRMC® Level 5 course is primarily designed for security practitioners looking to strengthen their core skills and deepen their understanding of security risk management. It covers a range of practical modules designed to enhance the hands-on abilities of professionals working in the field, preparing them to effectively manage and mitigate risks in various environments.

  • What if I am in a completely different time zone?

    You have access to the materials 24/7; and any live sessions will be timetabled so that they are able to match time zone requirements of each cohort where possible. In some cases, there will be repeated live sessions to ensure that all students have the opportunity to attend from varied time zones and each live session will be recorded and uploaded for students to listen back in their own time.

  • I have never studied at this level before, how difficult is it?

    You will need to be committed to your studies and will have to do some reading in your own time. The courses are not designed to catch you out, but to provide you with information and content that increases your knowledge. As always, if you feel that you are struggling, all that you need to do is contact the Course Tutor for assistance. If you are worried about the level of study, it is recommended to complete the PSMC Level 4 course first as this is pitched at an easier level so will help to ease you back into a student mindset.

  • How many hours a week will I need to study?

    The courses are each comprised of 120 learning hours, split between guided learning and self study. The actual amount of time you spend on the course will depend on the amount of effort that you can commit alongside other priorities. Students have up to 1 year to complete the courses, and will be expected to self-study to build knowledge and understanding in order to complete the assignments.

  • What types of assessments are there on this course?

    Each course has assignments which need to be completed in order to achieve the award. You will be given the timescales, requirements and full details in your Assignment Brief provided by the Course Tutors. As always, your course leaders will be there to guide and advise.

  • When can I expect feedback on my assignments?

    Provisional feedback on marked SRMC assessments will normally be given to you electronically within 3 working weeks, if not earlier. Final results will need to be ratified by our accrediting body, City and Guilds, who externally assess your work once all of the assignments are complete. You will receive your final results at the end of this process. For the PSMC course, assignments will be provisionally marked by the course leader before being sent to ATHE for the final assessment.

  • Apart from the online live sessions will there be any other face-to-face teaching?

    For those who wish to, and at your own expense for food and accommodation, you will be able to attend our residential SRMC course for specific subject sessions related to your studies as an additional option.
