🚨 Can you influence the outcome?

The interaction that's getting worse.
A change in tone.
A heated conversation.
A person who feels unheard.
A situation that slowly escalates.

The best security professionals know how to recognise these warning signs early and respond in a way that prevents minor issues becoming major incidents.

✅ Develop confidence managing difficult behaviours
✅ Understand your communication style under pressure

Before you can effectively influence the behaviour of others, you need to understand yourself. Through the Welcome to the Jungle component of the program, you'll gain valuable insight into how you communicate, react under pressure and approach conflict, helping you become a more effective security professional.

🎓 Self-paced online learning

REVIEW
I recently completed my Certificate II in Security Operations through Athena Training Academy, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.

As a full-time working single mum, taking on study was a big commitment, but the team at Athena made the entire journey enjoyable and achievable. From day one, every trainer and staff member was approachable, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping every student succeed. They created a welcoming environment where no question ever felt silly, and they took the time to ensure we truly understood the content rather than just memorising it.

What stood out most was the confidence they instilled in us. Security can seem like an intimidating industry to enter, but Athena gave me not only the knowledge and practical skills, but also the confidence to believe I can succeed. They encouraged us every step of the way and celebrated our achievements, which made a real difference.

I finished the course feeling proud of what I'd accomplished and excited about the opportunities ahead. I can't thank the entire Athena team enough for their support, encouragement and professionalism throughout the course.

If you're considering a career in security, I highly recommend Athena Training Academy. They genuinely care about their students and go above and beyond to help you succeed.

Official Launch of SMILE 🤩 🎉

Are you the security professional people remember for the right reasons?

🚀 Founding 50 Launch Offer
To celebrate the official launch of SMILE, the first 50 security professionals can enrol for just $287 + GST.
(share amongst your networks)

Once the Founding 50 places are filled, the course will return to its standard price.

What if one of the most powerful tools in the security industry wasn't authority, procedures, or even your radio?

SMILE is professional development course designed specifically for the security sector, filling a gap that Athena Training has identified as both important and well overdue.

With over 30 years' experience in customer facing roles across multiple industries, our Business Manager and author of SMILE, Amanda, has learned one very simple lesson:
📖 People rarely remember the policy.
📋 People rarely remember the procedure.
❤️ But they always remember how YOU made them feel.

SMILE was created to help security professionals explore:
✅ Communication
✅ Human Connection
✅ Customer Service
✅ Emotional Intelligence
✅ Leadership
✅ Empathy vs Sympathy

This course isn't about creating perfect security officers.
It's about creating better conversations, safer interactions, and more positive outcomes.
😊 One smile.
🗣️ One conversation.
💡 One small behaviour.

Sometimes that's all it takes to make an impact to remember.

So we leave you with one final thought...

Professionalism isn't just about what you do.
It's about how you make people feel. ❤️

What a beautiful morning it was in Hobart this morning 🌄

An early start but well worth it as we headed to the Australian Workforce Cyber Challenge (AWCC) Pilot launch at the stunning The Forest Campus at the University of Tasmania.

Delivered in partnership with the Tasmanian Government, Skills Solutions Australia, Comtech Training, and the University of Tasmania, the initiative aligns with the Digital Tasmania strategy and focuses on building cyber resilience, workforce capability, and clearer pathways into cyber careers.

Through practical Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges, teamwork, mentorship, and real-world cyber environments, participants gain valuable experience while connecting with industry, government, and education partners. The pilot supports tertiary students, ICT professionals, career changers, educators, industry participants, and State Service teams, creating an inclusive opportunity to learn, collaborate, and build cyber capability together.

Athena Training Academy is a proud sponsor of one of these teams, ensuring we actively support and contribute to this fantastic initiative.

As a training provider, we see ourselves as a crucial link in the pathway into this industry, helping individuals build the skills, confidence, and connections needed to step into meaningful cyber careers.

We’re excited to be part of something that is shaping the future workforce and strengthening Tasmania’s digital capability. 👏

Congratulations to Dr Tristan Richards (Premier & Cabinet) Tasmanian Government and Ross Medina of EdTech Group for ensuring this initiative stands up!
