Our training courses empower both current and future professionals in the Fire and Security industry, helping businesses upskill their workforce and tackle the growing skills gap – one apprentice or team member at a time.
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.
