Spectator Safety and Security
Level 3 Certificate in Spectator Safety (QCF) 
Like all NVQs this qualification is competence based. The NVQ Level 4 in Spectator Safety aims to provide a nationally recognised, competence-based qualification that is appropriate to those working at spectator events, especially events taking place within sport stadiums. It is for those working in the match-day and events stewarding industry and can be achieved by candidates working as Safety Officers or those who are responsible for the overall safety at an event. Typically the candidate would be responsible for the overall stewarding operation.
We employ experts in the field of Spectator Safety, all of whom have extensive practical experience which enables them to deliver training and assessment to the highest levels. The programme will initially run for a 12 month period.
