I do of course have Training certs from PAXTON, Janus, BPT, FAAC UK + IPAF (all modules) Working at heights, Aspestos Class A and I did have ESC but it expired.
And have provable Contracting for to most Companies - ADT, Chub, Axis, Amberstone, Digi Security etc (currently I suby through CSR Europe).
Didnt think these counted, Rang about the ECS and was told "I have to be Directly employed or sponsored by an Alarm Company, and that I have to be NVQ Qualified).
Thanks everyone for their replies by the way.
what card did you apply for,you wont get a gold card without an nvq level3 you should get a white card with proof of expierence and any inhouse training records/certs etc and the h&s test of course

Yes, an old ATI - Protection One - ADT system, I'd imagine any engineers who were able to programme via the Psion would be dead now anyway...

The lure of money and finacial security is a hard thing to pass up, luckily for me I've grown up in a county that pays **** money anyway so the temptation isn't so great lol
i was taking home 600 a week early 90's doing marine great money then,great money now tbh sick of working away ended up in this game working the clock to make the same,now im older and wiser (cough) i use norms wisdom (pardon the pun) life work balance is more important than the bank balance

thing is though he sees his two kids a few weeks a year and don't do f all with them, been working away about 5 years now. I feel sorry for him if he thinks that's living.
thats the downside,saying that ive done so much call over the years i might as well have been working away,chasing the money is fine at the time,in hindsight i wouldnt do it again

Bet he cleared the mortage quick with that!
is it still lucrative on the rigs?
its all relative as you move up the housing ladder i guess,he worked the rigs later on but not the same money i dont think the rigs pay v risk is great these days
-
theres money to be made if you take the risk,old man worked in war zones in the mid to late 70's as a spark was coming out with £300 a week which was about the same as this 150k thing, think the average take home pay in the uk was around £50 a week back then
-
my mates son was earning that as a spark,he was in afgan tho ,lived on site no alcohol no internet and you risked your life every day,worth the risk? not for me

There's no future working for sky. No one will have a dish in ten years or even a set top box. We'll all have an app in our smart TVs. Sky Q is being launched without a dish next year. Need I say anymore.
Have a look at smart metering installations ,got them installed a few month ago by eon and those lads seem happy,job and knock decent money the two that came were ex bg one gas one electrical but they said they do train people up

How come? How can the industry be on the way down? Surely there's always gonna be a need for security systems? More so today than ever in the world we live in..
More people want sky than an alarm,more people will pay 100 a month for sky and moan at 100 a year for an alarm etc etc
