With a brand new Website having just been launched we have also moved premises so now it’s a fresh start so to speak.
We have relocated to Langstone Technology Park near Havant in Hampshire.
The site is a former IBM site and is now populated by a number of companies. The training facilities are second to none and aside from the learning environment there is everything a client could possibly want and all under one roof. There is an HSBC cash point, Starbucks coffee shop and dining facilities all located within a light airy open plan space. During the nice weather there are also two courtyards open and available to sit and soak up the rays after soaking up information on one of our courses.

Its all well and good having these facilities but where are we? We are situated next to the A27 at Havant in Hampshire and have excellent connections via road rail or air. We are some 60 miles from London and the journey can be covered in just over an hour by Rail from London Waterloo. Fast trains run from Waterloo stopping at Havant every 30mins.
All the relevant travel information can be found on our website under the contact us page.

Now our website is live you can follow our blog and stay abreast of both local and National events that we believe are of interest to all who choose to follow. Yes, we will advertise courses but our underlying aim is to provide up to date information that you can use in order to provide better information and understanding in the areas that we specialise in namely security.
We are open to suggestions and welcome comments both good and bad in order to improve our service. Many in the security industry don’t share what they know and we want to break the mould and share as much as we can in order to ensure better informed people and organisations in the difficult times in which we live.
All of the information we publish is open source but we do the leg work to collect and filter it so you don’t have too. Once again welcome and we sincerely hope you stay with us.
