Happy Birthday, SSTTC SEAL!
Friends, today the SSTTC SEAL is celebrating its next anniversary.
We are 26 years old. We are almost the same age as our independent Ukraine.
From the moment of creation of the Center and throughout its entire existence, as well as, in plans for the future, all its activities are inextricably linked with the formation and strengthening of our state - Independent Ukraine.
Most of the Center's activities are non-public and are not covered in the media, are not published on social networks - they are, so to speak, "in the shadows", but those who, in one way or another, cooperate with us know very well what a significant contribution the Center makes to the sacred cause of protection state and strengthening its authority in the international arena.
From the moment of its establishment, the Center was "first among equals" - its innovative author's projects influenced entire areas of activity in professional circles, created new professional standards in the field of security. Not all of them were public, but those that can be talked about are "heard of". As an example, you can cite several of them:
- In 1998, the first author's courses on survival in wild nature and in high-risk areas were created in Ukraine. Hundreds of men and women (military, journalists, paramedics, security specialists) have gone through the courses.
- In 2003, the first Faculty of Business Security was created in Ukraine (at the Poltava Institute of Business of MNTU named after Academician Yu. Bugai), which over the course of 11 years (from 2003 to 2014) trained a whole generation of professional managers in the field of corporate security, many of whom headed security services large national and international companies
- In 2008, the SSTTC SEAL co-founded the first Ukrainian Association of Private Detectives (PAD) and co-authored the writing of professional standards for this profession.
- In 2011 on the basis of the Academy of the Navy of Ukraine named after Nakhimov (Sevastopol) the first international center for combating modern maritime piracy was created in Ukraine, which trained both Ukrainian and foreign anti-piracy specialists who participate in international missions around the world.
- From 2011 to 2013 on the basis of the educational and training complex of the Academy of the Navy of Ukraine named after Nakhimov (Sevastopol) our Center created the professional standards "Diver - guard". Organized international training courses for bodyguards specializing in diving.
- In 2014, the instructors of SSTTC SEAL took part in the creation of the Department of Military Patriotic Work and Territorial Defense of the Central Committee of the TSO of Ukraine (and headed some regional departments), within the framework of which unique "phone hotlines" were created, which were scaled throughout Ukraine.
- In 2020, the Center created and headed the Committee for Private Military Consulting and Mine Action on the basis of the Association of Corporate Security Professionals of Ukraine
- 2023-2024 - The Center, together with the main stakeholders of humanitarian demining, participates in the writing of special operating procedures (SOP) for maritime humanitarian demining and new Standards of mine action of Ukraine
- 2020-2024 - The SSTTC SEAL is actively involved in the social and political life of Ukraine through participation in law-making and rule-making activities: participated in the writing of the Laws of Ukraine "On the Foundations of National Resistance", "On the Territorial Defense of Ukraine". Currently, work continues on the Draft Law of Ukraine on Military Consulting Activities.
It should be noted that the public activity of the Center is not limited to the above-mentioned directions. The SSTTC SEAL actively works in the international arena, is a partner and member of such important international professional organizations as ICoCA and ASIS International, Pinkerton company, maintains business contacts with many other international professional companies and organizations.
But not a single project, not a single program would have been developed and implemented, not a single person would have been trained without the main thing that is in the SSTTC SEAL - the Center's team, which is exceptional in its professional qualities. Its team and teaching staff are the Golden Fund of the Center. Each instructor, adviser or representative of the Center is the quintessence of unique qualities, knowledge and skills. It is the unity of such personalities that allows the Center to be "first among equals".
The quality of training at the SSTTC SEAL, its competence has been tested for years, and the last 10 years have been the most severe test - an existential threat, a war for the survival of the Ukrainian state and nation. Our instructors and graduates pass this exam with honor!
The goal of the Center is the revival of a strong, independent Ukraine, which is symbolically reflected in the new official emblem that decorated the SEAL Center for its 25th anniversary in 2023.
Happy Birthday, SEAL!
Glory to Ukraine!
