    Missed the boat??

    Technically you only need a DS licence to do RST work - you're guarding premises but there's potential conflict involved so the extra physical intervention training over an SG licence is usually required, although lots of providers will like you to have CP as it makes you a more flexible employ...

    Contacting the SIA

    Only number I've got is 0300 123 9298 I'd imagine everyone is sat at home working through emailed contact forms so you may not get anyone

    Phoenix security

    It's only a waste of money if you see this as your only learning, pass the course and think you're now a shit-hot CPO and that's the end of your CPD. If it's paid for then go do it and get your SIA licence and start work, then look at more advanced training, a driving course, medical, security...

    UK Close Protection Services Ltd.

    Love the new video, and it fits perfectly with the earlier website content. It has nicely reinforced my opinion of your operation.

    Phoenix security

    A lot depends on you and your ability and experience. There's not much CP work around at the minute, as most posts are either filled or there's plenty of well established guys in people's phones for when someone is needed. This industry is very much 'who you know and who will vouch for you' If...

    Job Vacancies for people with Allied Universal Experience

    This is a largely UK centric forum and Allied is a largely US based operation - are these roles in the UK or the US, before people start wasting their time applying? (and no I'm obviously not interested for myself)

    Best (or at least fit for purpose) CP course

    Hi Steve The three that spring to mind for me are Excellentia - still highly rated in the commercial sector Galahad Associates - Jamie Painter is a top guy and his team know their stuff Phoenix - the Group4 one and not any others with the same name - say what you like about G4S but they're...

    Driver training in the uae?

    GSDriver you really are an idiot aren't you? The thread is 6 years old and asks about advanced security driver training in the United Arab Emirates, which is a very long way from Aldershot and much more sandy. This is also a forum for security staff, so while I guess a few guys on here might...

    Any advice appreciated

    Hi Dan Welcome to the forum. You've potentially got a long hard road ahead, pardon the pun, but you can find work up here (I'm based in Gods own Country but for my sins work mostly over the border in Manchester) Do some research and find security company's that offer a range of services, like...

    Is everyone dead?

    Morning - just have a word with the Principal (or your boss if that's the reporting line). At the end of the day they pay you to do a job, if you can't due to the child then they need to have words and explain the situation to her, not you. At the same time they may feel that the relationship...

    Is everyone dead?

    All good up north - boss hasn't been going anywhere so I've been more involved in helping his company management team deal with the effect Covid has had on the business operation - staff working from home and implications around data protection, protection of IP and now Risk Assessing the return...

    MCS

    Welcome to the forum - you may struggle getting involvement, the forum's a little quiet at the minute, and you need to invest in your website. As you'll know from your many years' experience, CP guys and ExMilitary are very sceptical, lots of Walts out there, and your website looks like it was...

    Protocols or rules for Pandemic issues (now COVID-19)

    It's a risk, just like Ebola, Malaria, HIV, car crashes, drowning, kidnap… the list goes on. It's more of a threat to your Principal than some risks (especially if elderly or already suffering from an underlying condition), and less of a risk than others, so you just run the usual risk...

    Medic available: March 2020

    Not much happens on here any more, we get the odd troll and jobs post but people have largely gone elsewhere by the look of it. There's generally lots of visitors, looking at the forum stats displayed, so it might be worthwhile you creating a throw-away email via Outlook or Gmail just for this...
