The new apprenticeship has been approved by government as a route for those wanting to join the private security industry, and for those already in employment who wish to progress.
This achievement represents three years of hard work by employers and stakeholders across industry, supported by the SIA (Security Industry Authority). The apprenticeship will provide funded opportunities for professional training in core security skills, and allow employees to choose a specialism:
- Operational Security Operative
- Cash and Valuables in Transit
- Mobile Security Patrol
- Security Control Room Operative
