Training Courses
We offer BS7858:2019 and BPSS training courses, book online today.
Our security screening training
Whether you are looking to meet the BS7858:2019 screening standard or implement the Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) framework, our security screening training solutions provide flexible options to suit your organisation’s needs.
The BS7858 training course is for anyone looking to follow the BS7858 standard for accreditation or policy purposes. Even if you outsource your screening to a trusted vetting supplier like Security & Vetting Solutions, anyone involved in the screening process in-house must undergo training. This could be HR, Recruiters, Administrators, Managers, or anyone else involved in the vetting process. The BPSS training course is also ideal for HR professionals, recruitment teams, hiring managers, and any staff responsible for conducting or overseeing BPSS pre-employment screening processes.

Training Course FAQs
Is BS7858 training certification a requirement of the BS7858 standard?
Yes. BS7858:2019 explicitly requires that all staff engaged in the screening process must be trained to ensure they understand the standard, apply vetting consistently, managing documentation and data protection correctly.
How long does BS7858 screening training take?
Our BS7858 online training courses take between 2 and 3 hours and can be completed at your own pace. Our webinar and in-house options may take longer due to live Q&A sessions.

Yes. Upon completing the BS7858 training course and assessment, delegates receive a certificate of training, which can be used for auditing purposes and compliance evidence
Is BPSS training mandatory?
BPSS training is not mandated by a standard in the same way BS7858 is, but it is strongly recommended to ensure screening is carried out correctly, consistently, and in line with government-defined BPSS requirements.
