About UsSDS was formed in 1975 to offer the very best equipment and services for the detection of explosives, improvised devices, mines and concealed weapons, hidden contraband or other prohibited items. Comprehensive bomb disposal, search equipment, training and maintenance projects are our forte, backed up by our attentive after-sales department, post-warranty support, maintenance programs and follow-on user training. Training courses include equipment operation, incident and risk management, postal staff training and EOD/IEDD/Search team training. SDS specialises in designing and running training that delivers real and measureable results. Whether it’s training for NGO personnel in hostile environments; police and security professionals in high risk situations; or private oil and gas companies, SDS delivers bespoke, relevant and practical training that is clearly focused on the real issues and required outcomes. Outlined below is an overview of some of the most widely recognised SDS courses. Our bespoke programmes are run by our behavioural training specialists with proven track records in security and health and safety. Each course features our unique X factor, developed from the latest behavioural research findings in the NLP (neuro linguistic programming) and EI (emotional intelligence) sciences, merging case study analysis and progressive field training customised to meet the needs of each specific client. The experiential element of each course is key to providing realistic situational immersion which invokes strong emotional responses, proven to be highly effective in embedding learning. Participants gain the kind of practical, real-life experience in critical risk avoidance & management, which is specific to the region of the world and type of environment they will be operating in and the nature of the challenges they may face. Integral to all of our courses is the acquisition of hands-on situational awareness, which thereafter becomes instinctual and immediate, ensuring maximum personal protection in the field. All courses are designed to meet specific client requirements and are undertaken by experienced instructors mostly with UK Government backgrounds. Our installation teams are experts at installing access control, visitor recognition and covert detection equipment in the workplace. Explosive threat analysis, workplace/VIP protection programs and incident investigation are just some of the services we carry out for our clients.
