Security Student - Testimonial
|
|
Hi, my name is Arian Haliti, I’m currently a student on the Security, Criminology and Legal studies course 2023/24, in St. Conleth’s Community College. During the course, I participated in fun activities including a trip to Newbridge Garda Station, a self-defense workshop, and PSA training which allowed me to become PSA licensed under the Private Security Services Act 2004.
My favorite module on the course was Criminology as we learned about the criminal justice system and different types of illegal substances. I would highly recommend this course as I have learned valuable knowledge and experiences. I have also made great friends and memories along the way. I look forward to the future, working in the security industry,
Arian Haliti, class of 2023/24.
