**Announcement from Specialist Detection Dogs UK Ltd**
We are excited to introduce our new initiative: the SDD UK Group Academy. This academy is designed to provide the highest standards of training and a diverse array of security industry qualifications in the South West.
Our offerings will include a comprehensive selection of K9 industry courses tailored for both professionals and pet dog owners, as well as SIA training that leads to Level 2 and 3 qualifications available in Cornwall, Plymouth, and Bristol.
We will also provide tailored counter-terrorism awareness training, allowing students to engage in scenario-based exercises. Our personal search awareness training aims to equip search teams with the skills and confidence to interact effectively with the public at various venues and events.
In addition, we are proud to offer fully accredited First Aid courses, including Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW), Pediatric First Aid, Defibrillation First Aid, and Mental Health First Aid. These courses can be conducted at our regional training centers or delivered directly on-site for businesses.
Our training team comprises professionals with extensive operational experience in the security sector, including expertise in high-risk environments, close protection, security management, and consultancy.
Our goal is clear: to become the leading provider in the South West.
