STAM online courses have been approved for continuing education by different security associations and government bodies, including ASIS International and BICSI, ensuring they meet international standards in terms of skills and knowledge transfer.

Individual or corporate accounts

Courses can be ordered online by individuals or companies looking to provide security training to employees. Discounts are available when more than one course is purchased, and the course only starts when you start learning for the first time.

Corporate and multi-user accounts are also available. These accounts also attract discounts and the administrator can allocate new courses to existing students or register new students as required. The administrator will also be able to track student progress through pre- and post-test scores, the amount of time spent on the courses and certification programme.
