By aligning with AddSecure, Skills for Security will integrate cutting-edge technological insights into its apprenticeship-focused curriculum, thereby ensuring that learners are fully prepared for advancements in the industry.

Powerful collaboration

In a bold move designed to “reshape the future” of security training, Smoke Screen has also joined forces with Skills for Security. This sponsorship represents a powerful collaboration aimed at “revolutionising” how future security professionals approach physical crime prevention. With Concept Smoke Screen’s “game-changing” concept as a part of the Skills for Security curriculum, apprentices will be trained to deploy what is one of the most effective tools in crime deterrence.

“At Concept Smoke Screen, we believe in turning the tide on crime,” explained Matt Gilmartin, managing director of the business. “By empowering the next generation of engineers with the knowledge and skills they need to use our technology, we’re not just preparing them for the future. We’re also arming them to reshape it. Our partnership with Skills for Security is a statement of our belief in education and innovation as the twin pillars of crime prevention.”

Scott Ballard, marketing manager at Concept Smoke Screen, observed: “This is more than a sponsorship. It’s about inspiring a new wave of security professionals to think bigger and act bolder. We’re giving them the tools to make a real difference. The future of crime prevention is in their hands and, with the right training, they will lead the charge.”

Transformative power

With this partnership, Concept Smoke Screen is dedicated to integrating its advanced fog technology into the Skills for Security training programme. Apprentices will not only learn how to install and maintain these systems, but also gain first-hand experience in the transformative power of security fogging: a solution that’s proven to disorient intruders and protect valuable assets.

The sophistication of security fog systems has reached new heights and now features cloud-based monitoring, remote activation and a variety of unit sizes, including battery-powered options. Given these advancements, education and training in this area are now more crucial than ever in order to fully harness the potential of these powerful security measures.

Concept Smoke Screen’s mission is to challenge the status quo in security. The business is renowned for its relentless focus on education, equipping professionals worldwide with the tools they need to combat physical crime.
