Mastering 2-Way Radio Communication for Beginners

​

Effective radio communication is your lifeline as a security guard. Not knowing how to use a radio on the job could put your own safety, the safety of those you are protecting, or assets in jeopardy. This online course covers the basics of how to operate a radio and how to communicate effectively with one.

Why is it important to know how to use a radio?

Radio communication is still the most popular form of communication in the security and operations fields due to it's immediate ability to keep everyone in the loop with key information. Most security companies and large organizations that have big operations teams (such as special events) use radio systems that communicate through radio-frequency, wi-fi or cellular signals. Chances are, you will work for a company that requires this skillset, so it's important to have this on your resume now.

 

The radio system is one of the most powerful tools you have in the security profession. Knowing how to operate a 2-way radio and how to communicate on a radio is crucial for:

  • Your safety and the safety of others. Your radio is your lifeline to help.

  • Being able to do your job as a security guard or other security or operations role, especially in an observe-and-report function when you need to ensure the protection of property, assets and/or people.

​

Perhaps you have just started a new career in security, or another job that requires you to use 2-way radios to communicate with the rest of your team. Regardless of whether you use a radio that communicates through radio-frequency, wi-fi or cellular signals, this course will teach you the basics of how radios work, how to operate one and how to effectively communicate with them.
