Try maritime security as companies are always looking for ex Inf soldiers for their Shell contracts, but you will need to do a few courses to get qualified and these can done via ELCAS.

NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE, you can use all the weapons you want in civvy street and have all the small arms courses, but no reputable PMSC will touch you without a minimum of 4 yrs military experience, SIMPLES.

If you want to break into maritime security you will be using weapons of different calibres, now where in civvy street are you going to get the experience of using these weapons and the knowhow on how they work etc. The simple fact is, you will not and this is the main reason why PMSC's will not...

Ambrey Risk are hiring Polish and Romanian guys and also I think Bulgarian. SVS Risk are hiring Polish guys too.

It must be shit company then if they are employing non ex military personnel.

This company will soon get found out especially if they dont have an End User Licence for the weapons they will get their guys into trouble like the Chennai 6.

Try an NVQ Level 4 in Security and Risk Management?

Solace and PVI will normally only take ex RM. What you hear and what you know about different comoanies is totally different. Ambrey are are great company as is Securewest as I have worked for both companies. The best advive given is as Ivan has stated, stay in the Army maintain a stable wage...

If you do the MSO and the MIRA course you will easily get into Maritime but you will also need the STCW95 course. Give Ambrey Risk a call as they are recruiting British MSOs at present.

Lotts, you will need to have all 4 modules of the STCW95 as well as the MSO course and FPOS I. Give Ambrey Risk a call or email as they are recruiting and can provide the courses too.

Its defo the same for CP work as most of the companies will want ex military.

If you are not ex forces (min 4 yrs) then you will have no chance and no respectable Maritime company will touch you.

March or die.....join the legion for 5 yrs not 10 yrs.

Why dont you go NVQ Level 4 or 5 in Security and Risk management or NVQ level 3 in Security Operations? You say you First Aid trained have you done the new FPOSI?
