Minutes of the IBSSA Education and Qualification Department Meeting Zlin, 20th March 2005

The Education and Qualification Department aims to upgrade the professional profile of its officially recognised courses.

The Department came to some important decisions:

  1. We must make sure that only accredited IBSSA courses will be able to give out any IBSSA diplomas (according to the existing rules adopted by the BD years ago). Each course has to register officially before the opening of the course get a license to run the course – this is a clear limitation to receive any IBSSA diploma.
  2. We would like to recommend more SEC-tember courses for new comers. We mean by this two courses per year (organised and sanctioned by the HQ) one for beginner new candidates and the other one is for advanced security studies. The two courses will remain by principle the main event of IBSSA International as educational events.
  3. We recommend and in the future we will open a yearly Instructors’, Teachers’ and Masters’ work shop to upgrade and teach the “Art of Teaching” and to base a formula for our courses (pedagogy and didactics). The participation on these workshops will be a minimum requirement to maintain or upgrade Instructional level. We must realise that a professional Security expert not necessarily has the professional tools to teach his expertise.
  4. We remind that – only twice a year – during the Congress and SEC-tember is the time to achieve or upgrade official IBSSA qualifications.
  5. In order to continue the last year’s positive momentum for each SEC-tember we will build a concept. This year the main subject of the 4th SEC-tember will be Combat Driving. This means that we will concentrate around this subject also with Escorting, VIP protection, Krav Maga, Shooting and Danger analysis and so on.
  6. This means we will make the team of Master Teachers that will give the best service in this specific field. We will coordinate the professional outcome of the training program between all the Masters Team and us. We the members of the Education and Qualification Department found it critically important to make the following statement. We feel to remind all our members that it is the most important to follow all well known basic security regulations when handling weapons. During an IBSSA demonstration loaded weapons were pointed toward people. We members of the Department feel it is our duty to warn against such a dangerous act. Some of the audience left immediately the demonstration area while others might did not understand the immediate danger. We must remember all security regulations and strictly apply them in all our events!!!
