The name International Security Training Academy (ISTA) has become synonymous with security training in Australia and has a reputation second to none. The academy is dedicated to providing the most advanced security training technology available.
ISTA was established by Tim Sell (Managing Director) in 1986 and is 100% Australian owned.
Since our establishment, ISTA has always set the benchmark in security training standard. When only three days were required to obtain a security licence, ISTA demanded five days.
To date, we continue to lead the way in security training and in improving the standard of the security industry as a whole.
