Our BPSS Training course

Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) is a government-defined pre-employment screening standard used to help prevent untrustworthy individuals from accessing roles with sensitive information. This BPSS training course is designed for HR professionals, recruitment teams and anyone involved in the BPSS process.

BPSS training course equips HR teams, recruiters, and onboarding staff with the essential knowledge needed to implement the government-defined Baseline Personnel Security Standard correctly. While BPSS training certification is not audit-mandated in the same way as BS7858, proper training ensures processes are completed consistently, evidence is gathered accurately, and risks associated with improper vetting, such as granting access to sensitive roles without adequate checks, are minimised.
