Minimum age requirement for a security license is 18, though training can commence beforehand.

 

In class assessment

Essentially, the trainee will be assessed during class room time. Assessments will consist of answering questions both orally and written, practical demonstrations where a trainee can show the assessor their skills; these demonstrations are based either on scenarios or standard operating procedures.  Trainees will need to complete their workbook, and complete any assignments that are set by the trainer. All trainees will be given the opportunity to provide feedback.
