Training & qualifications
One of the SIA’s main objectives is to raise standards of corporate and individual performance within the private security industry. A key element in achieving this will be to raise the levels of individuals’ skills. At present, standards of training and skill levels in the industry are highly variable and, in general, insufficient to meet likely future challenges. Staff in some companies are well trained and highly skilled. In others training is often only cursory and fails to equip individuals for a job, let alone a career in the industry.
