The Fire, Emergency & Security Systems apprenticeship standard has come a long way since the original frameworks were introduced many years ago. The current standard increasingly focuses on the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to become a successful technician with the ability to install, maintain and repair a variety of electronic security and emergency systems.
