New security training courses

August 2013 News & Events, Conferences & Events

Integ Security Consultants, an installer of security devices and Growth College have joined forces to offer security training courses. The development of CCTV and technological advances have put massive demands on personnel in the security industry. The guidelines for CCTV operation, standards and industry groups have been an initial reaction to establish professional expectations in the industry.

However, CCTV growth and technology has classically outpaced the development of training courses and accepted industry qualifications for people who have to implement and staff the systems. Training is therefore critical and management process and is something that needs to be urgently addressed in organisations across the whole of the CCTV industry.

CCTV training is often associated with how to operate the equipment and software systems and uses. The CCTV system that one has to look at, however, is far broader.

If you want functional CCTV systems that are in line with operational requirements, installed to requirement and working effectively, and managed and operated competently, you need to ensure that your people are trained.

Together Integ Security Consultants and Growth College developed courses that cover the full range of the CCTV implementation process and are recognised by a number of major certification bodies in South Africa and Africa.
