sixwheeledbeast Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I have been told that everyone who wants to work as a security service engineer will have to have a NVQ level 3 if they want to work as a service engineer. I have been told this comes into play in about 6 years time. I have got a city & guilds knowledge of security and emergency alarm systems. Does anyone know if this is true and I will have to get a NVQ ? When I did my CG1851 they did the NVQ level 2 and 3 along side. The NVQ was just the work based training and coursework no exam IIRC. Many seem to employ monkeys so I wouldn't worry about it. I think the manufacturers are aiming there kit at monkey level now too, means they get less support calls.
