        Hi
        My name is Avi and I am Leicester based. I have 25 years experience within the security sector.

        Experience

        Frontline DoorSupervisor
        Retail Security
        Aviation Security
        CCTV Operative
        Recognition of Firearms and Explosives Instructor
        Control Room Operative
        General Protection Dog Handler
        Explosives Search Dog Handler
        Passive and Proactive Search Dog Handler

        I have my own 6000sq ft boxing/mixed martial arts venue comprising of a very well spaced reception with 3 metre projection screen. I have the pleasure of teaching kids with special needs from the club aswell as teenagers coming from difficult backgrounds. As part of their syllubus I teach them the dangers of drug use and involvement with gangs and knife crime.

        Currently in the process of setting up a training facility for working dogs where youngsters will be involved in bringing working dogs up from scratch. Recently appeared in the Sun newspaper for finding a 1.4 million pound cannabis factory with one of 6 of my own working dogs.

        I would love the opportunity to add a range of security courses to teach from the academy. Can you please point me in the right direction for the necessary qualifications I need to teach the SIA frontline licence.

        Kind Regards
