If you are looking to study further or follow a specific career, it is extremely important to do your research and ensure that the institution offer Accredited Qualifications.

Accredited Qualifications are usually authorised by a body (such as the government).  This body provides authority to certain institutions when specific standards are met.  Thus if qualifications are not accredited, institutions only offer students basic knowledge.

So why do institutions ALWAYS emphasise they offer Accredited Qualifications? 

The reason why Colleges, small and private institutions make you aware of them being accredited and why Universities don’t is because Universities have to be accredited otherwise they would not exist.

Colleges, private and small institutions can run courses that only offer basic attendance qualifications as well.  However when they are Accredited, it will obtain you with the necessary qualification standards according to a body/authority.  This is very good for your career and industry you work in.  This will also give you ease of mind that your qualification is up to the correct standard.

There are a lot of different Accredited Qualifications as well as Accredited Bodies.

At Milites Dei Academy our main focus is to offer as much Accredited Qualifications as possible.  There are so many institutions that offer Accreditation-specific qualifications and they are not accredited for it.  This is a global problem so why not pay all that money for the best authorised option.  Especially in the security education field, these qualifications are very strict and industry specific and have to be Accredited Qualifications with the right bodies/authorities.

Milites Dei Academy is accredited with SASSETA as well as PSIRA for:

• National Certificate in General Security Practices
• Further Education and Training Certificate (FETC) in Specialist Security Practices
• Close Protection Officer (CPO) / VIP Protection
• PSIRA Grades

Now thanks to technology and so many wonderful educational platforms, nowadays you can also look at online Accredited Qualifications!

Online Accredited Qualifications are wonderful and offer you the freedom to study from wherever you are. Plus point while dealing with a pandemic as well.  Distance learning not only offers options such as studying through the post but now even online.  Various institutions now have platforms where information (study material) gets uploaded to a portal/education site for your convenience.  Tasks can be done from home or wherever you are and your “evidence” or tasks can be uploaded to the same system for the institution to access.  Only exams and practical will have to be done at the intuition (at their premises).

For example, Milites Dei Academy offers our Close Protection Officer (CPO/VIP) course online or distance.  This course is an Accredited Qualification and tasks can be completed where you are and only the 5/7 days practical and exams needs to be done here at our academy/campus.  All meals and accommodation for your stay with us will be included in the total cost.
