Course enables civil servants to learn more about national security

A new online course launched by the College for National Security will help civil servants learn more about national security.

The course's aim is to break down barriers to understanding National Security threats and impacts and help civil servants integrate it into their jobs.

Speaking on the launch of the 'What is national security' course, college head Andrew Millar said: "To respond to a broad range of threats the UK faces, we need a workforce that is knowledgeable, skilled and connected when it comes to national security.”

Millar, who is also deputy director of Government Skills, added: “This course gives an introduction to national security and gives civil servants an overview of key national security themes. It’s an ideal introduction for anyone who would like a better understanding of national security, are interested in a career in national security or who are new to the sector.”

As part of efforts to boost understanding of national security, the college has also published its ‘Guide to the UK National Security Community’. The guide showcases the departments, agencies and devolved administrations involved in national security and was developed in collaboration with 23 departments and agencies. The guide is designed to help colleagues better understand the UK’s national security community and the breadth of departments involved.
