50 Certified Security Consultants (CSCs)
Anubis is very pleased to announce that following the recent graduation of another five students who have successfully completed the Certified Security Consultant (CSC) programme, the half century mark of individuals holding this Level 5 certification has now been reached. The CSC qualification was recently re-accredited and now attracts 80 Higher Education Credits at Level 5, thereby offering students an increasingly worthwhile stand-alone qualification, or one which allows them to proceed onto further studies including the Bucks New University BA (Hons) in Security Consultancy due for launch in early 2012.

Anubis is very pleased to announce that following a series of changes to the content and delivery of the Certified Security Consultant’s programme, the certification has recently been revalidated by Buck’s New University and successful students will now receive a Level 5 Award worth 80 Higher Education Credits. We believe that this is an accurate assessment of the worth of the certification and reflects the nature and amount of work involved in successfully completing the CSC programme. The changes to the value of the certification are not retrospective and will only apply to students from the current intake and all subsequent courses.
