The new regulations for businesses are due to be rolled out in or around October this year and be enforceable by early 2014. This is coming and we will all have to abide by it, so I am not after comments on the SIA. What I am after is how we go about employing people to work for us so that...

I have been told, three weeks ago, by a contact in the SIA that this rule will probably come in soon and that CP licence holders will have to complete the DS Upskilling course to be able to work in a DS role. I was told to keep en eye on the SIA Website for more info!!

I would like to come mate, dates dependant!!

Good luck, seeing some of the CVs that get sent to me you SHOULD be VERY busy!!

I use Gotek 7 stuff all the time, they are doing an unlimited position offer for £10 a month, not bad if you want 5 second pings 24/7!!

Totally right Mr Gloves, CPOs protecting clients, DS protecting Doors and Chambermaids in beds!!

This is from the SIA website and the bit in bold and underlined is the bit you are interested in: You don't need to re-take your training if you currently hold a licence and you are looking to renew it. However, if you attained your qualification before the current ones were introduced (Summer...

You are right, however I am sure that the DS doing RST at the private residence you are referring to are protecting the property, NOT the client or they would need a CP badge wouldn't they? If they are working in a hotel, surely they are protecting the clients room and property and NOT the...

Mucho Gracias Amigo!! Thank You. Just a point, someone asked who was representing the industry on this point, go to the SIA website and complete their feedback form and everyone can represent out industry and have their opinion, at least, read! I do like the idea of distance learning with an...

I actually agree with them, sorry!! What does the average CP know about licensing laws? What does he/she know about how to run a door at a night club? CP work and DS work are separate entities and skills, we all do event work (DS requirement) but this is not running a door at a hard night...

Go with Excellentia, I know most of the team personally and can not rate them and their course high enough. Good luck and drop me a line when you have your licence.

Just as an example I was called by G4S and asked to apply for a Duty Manager role at one of their Olympic Event venues. I went to an assessment day on 30th April and gave them all the information they required to vet me, CRB me etc etc. I had to call them a month later to see if I had passed...

I am laughing but it is a serious point, I have to brief my teams on NO PHOTOGRAPHS, NO AUTOGRAPHS, NO FACE BOOK, NO LINKED IN and NO TWITTER etc etc I still get people putting up photos, making comments etc - If I have warned then they are taken off the job and don't get paid, its happened...

I did not think that spelling and grammar were part and parcel of being a good security operator; maybe I am wrong in that this is an informal forum where people can get help and advice without prejudice. I do agree that spelling, grammar and punctuation are correct on applications and CVs but...

Hi Rich and thanks for the detailed reply and accepting my apology!! Good points, well thought out! I would like to be involved in something that made a difference, it would be difficult and many companies would have to sign up to undertakings etc. before individuals were even considered...

Absolutely not. We do not need another organisation pretending to set standards in this industry. We have various Bodyguard associations, NASP and I am sure a plethora of others all pertaining to do just that. If an organisation, Licence and the standards are not compulsory and not strictly...

You are right Eddie me old mate this is he !!!

Any one says anything about any of my jobs on facebook of the like and they don't get another job and don't get paid if I find out, 2 people last summer did exactly that, I was informed by a third party and I will never use them again, don't people have any common sense?
