The part that stalls people

You can teach. This proves you can teach conflict management.

The SIA requires this qualification of anyone delivering the scenario-based conflict management element of licence-to-practise training. A generic teaching qualification on its own does not cover it.

Without the L3DCM
  • ✗You cannot deliver SIA licence-linked conflict training
  • ✗Your scenario sessions sit outside the approved framework
  • ✗Security providers cannot put you on their tutor list
With the L3DCM
  • ✓Meets the SIA requirement for conflict management trainers
  • ✓Security Training Providers will put you on their tutor list
  • ✓Progress to Physical Intervention delivery or the L4CET

Before you ask on the call

Questions people actually ask

Pick a topic to open its answers

Who should do this course?

It is for qualified trainers who want to deliver scenario-based conflict management training. It suits:

  • Trainers delivering SIA licence-to-practise courses that include conflict management
  • Security company trainers and door supervision instructors
  • NHS, transport, retail and local authority trainers working with frontline staff
  • L3AET holders adding a recognised specialism to what they can deliver
Who enrols on this course?

Three groups make up most of our intake.

✓SIA licence-to-practise trainers
Delivering door supervision or security courses that include the conflict management element.

✓In-house trainers
NHS, transport, retail and local authority teams who train frontline staff to handle aggression safely.

✓Employers buying seats
Qualifying a training team in one batch, invoiced on your terms. No minimum numbers required. Visit our Corporate page

Who is this course 'NOT' for?
  • You are aged under 18
  • You do not yet hold a teaching or training qualification
  • You do not have a basic to intermediate command of the English language
  • You do not have a good working knowledge of how to use technology
  • You are not comfortable with technology or do not enjoy learning on a screen – reading, researching and watching videos
  • You struggle to motivate yourself or find it difficult to study without constant support
  • You rely heavily on face-to-face interaction and find it difficult to progress independently
What will I be able to do by the end?

On successful completion of the course, you will:

  • Explain the principles and benefits of scenario-based learning
  • Design session plans and realistic conflict scenarios and justify your design choices
  • Deliver a safe, interactive session that involves the whole group
  • Debrief participants so the whole group takes learning from the scenario
  • Describe methods of verifying that learning has been effective
  • Evaluate your own performance and plan your development
  • Understand how communication, risk assessment and de-escalation work in real conflict situations
Is the L3DCM recognised?

Yes. It is Ofqual-regulated, awarded by Highfield Qualifications and recognised across the security (SIA) and customer-facing sectors. British qualifications are well regarded internationally and Ofqual-regulated qualifications are accepted by many employers and organisations outside the UK. Recognition overseas is decided by each country or employer, so check with them if you plan to work abroad. Check it on the Ofqual Register (GOV.UK)

What comes after the L3DCM?

Highfield Qualifications signposts the following progression routes:

  • Highfield Qualifications Level 3 Award for Deliverers of Physical Intervention Training within the Private Security Industry
  • Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training
  • Level 3 Assessment and Level 4 Quality Assurance qualifications
How is this different from a cheaper conflict management course?

Cheap courses typically hand you a PDF and an exam booking. Our course includes professionally produced AV lessons, original infographics, real conflict case studies from security, healthcare, retail and transport, scenario and debrief templates you keep, observation of your filmed session and 24-72 hour personal marking. The certificate says the same thing on paper. The trainer you become is very different.

What is the filmed session?

For Unit 2 you deliver a scenario-based conflict management session to a real group at work and film it. Your portfolio includes the session plan, the scenarios you designed, your justification for them, the recording and your own evaluation. Your tutor gives written feedback on the design, the delivery and the debrief.

How and when do I sit the exam?

Unit 1 is assessed by a Highfield Qualifications multiple-choice exam: 30 questions in 1 hour, with 20 correct answers needed to pass. You sit it online with remote invigilation, booked when you feel ready rather than on a fixed cohort date. Photographic ID is required.

    How fast is my work marked?

    Within 24 to 72 hours, often the next day. Weekends and public holidays are not counted. Most providers take 2 to 3 weeks.

    Can I fail?

    Each written assessment is a Pass or a Refer, with clear pointers to put it right: three attempts at each, and two at your filmed session. The Unit 1 exam needs 20 correct answers out of 30, and if you miss it, you can resit for £100 including VAT.

    Do I need a teaching qualification first?

    Yes. Highfield Qualifications requires you to already hold a teaching or training qualification such as the L3AET, PTLLS, CET or DET and to be 18 or over. If you do not hold one yet, start with our L3AET and come back to this afterwards.

    Do you support learners with dyslexia or other needs?

    Yes. Tell us what helps you and we will make reasonable adjustments. See our Accessibility and Reasonable Adjustments Policy.

    How soon can I start?

    Today. On weekdays (9 am to 5 pm) your course invitation arrives within 10 to 15 minutes; book at the weekend or on a public holiday and it arrives by the next working day. Receive your invite, fill your application form, upload your photo ID and begin.

    Can I start at a later date after making the payment?

    Yes, by all means. We allow you to start within 30 days of receiving the invite. Beyond that, a re-invite fee of £60 including VAT applies.

    How long does it actually take?

    Highfield Qualifications sets 43 hours of total qualification time, 32 of them guided. Most part-time learners finish in a few weeks or months once they have a session to film. You have 365 days and there is no penalty for using them.

    Can I study on my phone?

    Yes. Desktop, laptop, tablet or phone, and your progress syncs. For writing and uploading assessments, a laptop or computer is easiest.

    What support will I get?

    A named tutor from start to finish. Email or phone us Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, and we reply to emails within 24 hours. Live calls are there when you need them.

    What if I need more than 365 days?

    Most learners finish well inside the year. If life gets in the way, extend 30 days at a time for an Extension fee of £125 + VAT.

    What are the benefits of online learning?
    • Powerful visual cues and experiential exercises that make learning better & faster
    • Always available – a course that is as close as a computer with an internet connection
    • Control the learning environment – you set your own pace and schedule
    • Allows flexibility – with no set class times, you decide when to complete your assessments and learning
    • A cheaper course than traditional college courses – with no hotel/housing, meal plans or travel expenses to worry about
    • No interruptions in your job/career if you are currently busy working/teaching
    • No need to take a leave of absence in order to go back to college
    • No need to go to the classroom course over a number of days
    • No need to worry about the teacher's absences or the effects of other learners (good or bad)
    • A controlled positive social atmosphere – no bullying or leg pulling
    • Saves you time, energy and money as well!!!
    Can I talk to someone before I enrol?

    Of course. Book a free 15-minute call and we will walk you through a unit, the assessment and how your tutor helps, or call us on 01908 736 777.
