The need for quality training of Closed Circuit Television (Public Space Surveillance) Operatives has long been recognised. Too often a highly sophisticated system has been carefully planned, expertly installed and commissioned with little or no thought given to the training of those people responsible for its use. This three-day course is designed to assist companies in the provision of basic job training that meets the SIA requirements for licensing. Delegates will gain an in-depth understanding of the current legislation pertinent to their work and invaluable knowledge relating to the purpose and principles of CCTV surveillance systems.
This course is appropriate to new entrants to the industry; people transferring from other security functions, as well as those, whose job includes some elements of Closed Circuit Television (Public Space Surveillance), and existing security staff requiring a qualification in order to apply for an SIA licence.
If your name is spelt incorrectly on your certificate, please contact us and we will forward your query to your training provider. You would be required to send the certificate back along with a copy of your ID. Name changes can take between 3-4 weeks to be resolved once you have sent the certificate with an appropriate form of ID i.e driving licence or passport

17 Days Close Protection + First Aid at Work
Close Protection Operatives or Bodyguards can make anywhere between £20 - £40 an hour depending on the contract. Some CPO's working in war zones can make upto £500 per day.
Anyone working as a First Aider must attend this course.
