What PerpetuityARC Training does

PerpetuityARC Training (legal entity: Perpetuity Training Ltd) is a UK-based specialist training provider focused on security management and counter-terrorism education. Operating since approximately 1989 and headquartered with a registered office at The Shard in London, the company delivers accredited qualifications across classroom, online, and bespoke in-house formats to individual security professionals and corporate or government organisations. Its product portfolio spans SFJ Awards Levels 2, 3, and 4 in counter-terrorism protective security; BTEC Levels 3, 4, and 5 in security management; QNUK Level 4 and Level 7 endorsements; ASIS certification preparation (CPP, PSP, APP); and academic qualifications including an MSc and a 2025-launched Postgraduate Diploma in International Security and Risk Management, the latter two delivered in partnership with the University of West London.

The company's core technology consists of the Linxville online learning platform, which delivers courses with access windows ranging from 6 months for standard courses to 18+ months for Security Institute Diploma programmes, supplemented by a multilingual Bitesize microlearning catalogue available in English, Spanish, and French. The platform underpins direct-to-learner self-service via the corporate website and supports channel sales through The Security Institute (accredited certificate, diploma, and advanced diploma pathways) and the Reed.co.uk marketplace, while bespoke in-house corporate engagements are scoped and delivered at client premises.

PerpetuityARC Training generates revenue through three primary streams: one-time course fees for individual and corporate bookings, subscription-based access to Security Institute programmes with extension fees for non-completion, and bespoke in-house corporate training engagements. The University of West London partnership injects a recurring academic tuition component on enrolment. GTM is hybrid, combining direct enterprise field sales for corporate in-house packages with self-serve online bookings, partner-platform listings, and indirect distributor relationships. The company has been owned by Mitie Security Limited since 2025, having previously operated as part of the Linx International Group alongside Linx Consultancy and Tavcom Training. Reported headcount stands at 7 employees, and the firm claims thousands of trained learners and organisations across its history.
