Learning how to perform well in a security related job is crucial for those who are considering a stable and rewarding career. According to the applicant interests there are several qualifications which can be acquired through proper training, some of them are: SIA security gurad and door supervisor, CCTV operator and even conflict management.

In the UK all security qualifications have been set by the SIA also known as the security industry authority. As you may know security is a serious field, one which requires dedicated training in order for those performing security functions to deliver a great service each time. In order to qualify for these important positions (Door supervisor/Security guard), applicants must always understand and have knowledge of concepts such as:

- The law relevant to the industry: Following the private security industry act of 2001, security personnel and agencies must be aware of the rules and regulations established by the SIA. Some of these rules establish a thorough background inspection on security personnel in order to avoid individuals with prior criminal records from qualifying ...
... and working in security positions.

- Other functions door supervisors must perform are: controlling entry to premises, being completely aware of fire procedures in case of emergencies, have a good understanding of health and safety procedures, know how to search people and their property, recognizing and defusing conflict, etc.

Another position which is currently in demand in the security industry is CCTV operator. CCTV is the abreviated term or acronym for the term closed circuit television. The purpose of these devices is to guard premises and comply with securities procedures, however operators of these devices shoul be aware of legislations which govern the way these operations are handled, that's why not everyone can jump in an manage a CCTV station. Legislations which regulate these positions are (but not limited to) "The data protection act of 1998" and even the "Humans Right Act of 1998" should be taken into account.

Other functions of CCTV operators include: operational procedures and knowledge of SIA codes, use of CCTV equipment, control room communication, knowing how to deal with incidents, CCTV surveillance techniques, etc.

As you see these are demanding fields which require proper training and knowledge of SIA regulations that's why it is a requirement to train security personnel with qualified agencies which follow all of these procedures and regulations in order to keep the UK security industry tranparent and reliable.
