The National Security Inspectorate (NSI) has announced the launch of a new eLearning course to help NSI approved companies understand and apply the requirements of the revised Code of Practice BS 7858:2019 'Screening of Individuals Working in a Secure Environment'.
NSI eLearning screening course
This introductory eLearning course is available to all who wish to enroll, but is particularly useful for screening administrators and controllers. Accredited by the National Security Institute’s CPD Scheme, the course includes guidance on information and documentation requirements, relevant legislation and regulatory requirements, the difference between personal opinion and fact, and the implications of non-compliance.
Upon completion of the course, learners will understand the reasons for screening and will be able to assist in developing an effective screening process. The eLearning course will also help them understand how to apply the requirements in practice. Each learner will receive a personalised certificate of completion. Split into four parts, the eLearning course will take approximately two hours to complete, and learners may log in and out as many times as they wish, saving their progress each time.
