Choibuk Security Service, a locally run security service company has completed its second training for security guards at the Wesley United Church compound.
Wally Provan, finance and administration manager of the company said they are absolutely happy with the turn out of the two trainings they’ve facilitated.
Throughout the trainings, security guards were taught about their roles and responsibilities, professionalism, discipline, proper hygiene and good appearance, how to communicate via-radio, how to use a fire extinguisher and first aid basics.
He expressed that there was a big turn out at their trainings especially the second training.
“We are absolutely happy with the turnout of our trainings and it actually exceeded our expectation”
He stressed that these trainings are important because it teaches the security guards more about their duties and responsibilities as guards and how to do their job professionally.
Wally pointed out that it was good to see some females show up at the training because their new contract also looks at having gender balance.
Speaking of any challenges, he said one of the challenges is not having enough space as lot of them showed up at the training as well as those who were not selected but still wanted to come and be part of the training.
Provan stated that participation during the trainings was good because the guards’ asked questions when they were not clear about anything and interacted well together during group activities.
He said after this second training, they will select guards who will work under their new contract which should start on 1st Feb this year.
Provan noted that those not selected will be on Choibuk Security Service’s reserve list as standby guards to work on new sites coming up in the next few months.
He said the training is an ongoing thing for the company and they look forward to facilitating more trainings in the future.
