| Syndicate seeking guidance from teacher and translator |
It was an honour and a privilege to have been invited, on behalf of Complex Training Institute of Education, to teach students of Hua Xin Zhong An (Beijing) Security Service Ltd, in security and risk management.
The company is a forward-thinking security service provider that has embraced education and training to provide high quality guarding and risk management advice to Chinese clients.
The company is well on the way to increasing its footprint internationally, with new initiatives in planning that will capture the new skills that students have developed on the course.
The students, having just returned from operational duty with the company in Maritime security and land based contracts in the African continent, were faced with a number of challenges.
- Moving from a military orientated, tactical mindset, to one of strategic business and risk management.
- Taking in new concepts based on western business and risk management models.
- Undertaking education in a western style competency based training style.
- Receiving training in English, with Chinese translator, that can be confusing at times and requires additional patience as the teacher and translator reach an agreed translation of technical terms that have no equivalent in Chinese.
Students worked hard and brought credit on themselves, their company and China as they presented the results of a series of desktop syndicate risk management projects to the company owner, its Directors, a visiting security academic and members of the China and Beijing Security Association.
Feedback from official audience members revealed that the students had exceeded their expectations.
I congratulate all students on their completing the class work. They must now complete the independent projects for completion of the course and obtaining AQF qualifications.
Visiting Beijing was an experience and the training was both challenging and enjoyable.
I thank Hua Xin Zhong An (Beijing) Security Academy for their hospitality and support.
