Strategic Purpose Statement
This certificate provides a nationally recognised qualification for those responsible for the supervision of security activities in an organisation or for the supervision of staff providing professional security services.

Award of the certificate recognises that the holder has demonstrated competence in the preparation and implementation of security plans, and in the supervision of staff working in the security area. It also recognises that the holder has demonstrated knowledge of the factors that influence the conduct and supervision of security operations.

The qualification comprises two components. Compulsory standards reflect the skills and knowledge required by all supervisors in the security industry. A range of elective standards provides flexibility within the qualification and recognises additional skills and knowledge considered by industry to be desirable but not mandatory.

They may hold the National Certificate in Security with strands in Court Security, Event Security, Mobile Patrol, Noise Control, retail Security, Secure Transport, and Site Security (Level 3) [Ref: 0227].
