We not only build technical skills in intelligence and security operations, but we develop capacities of high performing participants in TRAINING & FACILITATION skills, and continue to build a network of future security trainers.

Our trainers conduct follow-up field visits to duty locations to assess training outcomes and practical application of skills, gather feedback from supervisors and commanders and address skills gaps of personnel as part of ongoing mentorship and training support.

Having technical knowledge and skills is not enough to impart knowledge. IISS experts conduct Trainer-of-Trainers courses for potential trainers to improve training skills and promote knowledge transfer.

Our instructors are highly skilled and conduct trainings in a respectful environment where participants feel confident in sharing experiences, peer learning and collaborative thinking.

At IISS, we not only train, but coach, mentor and provide after course support as participants remain part of the professional network and benefit from networking with industry experts and our security expert network for professional career guidance and growth.
