A joint initiative between the register of Certified Technical Security Professionals (CTSP) and the Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) will offer Fire Emergency and Security Systems (FESS) Apprentices the opportunity to join the CTSP register, free of charge for the first year.
CTSP recognises competence, quality, and qualifications in the technical security industry, becoming the go-to place for consumers, employers, and contractors to validate the professional competences of those featuring on the register. Registering will unlock a whole range of benefits for newly qualified apprentices, including discounted training and access to clients in need of services.
This professional register, which is supported by Tavcom Training, the leading international provider of technical security training courses; is available for all individuals operating within the Security Systems Industry with a ‘technical’ focus, including installers, technicians, engineers, system designers, auditors & consultants.
This initiative builds on the growing success of the FESS apprenticeship by recognising the professional technician status of those completing the scheme. The specialist apprenticeship continues to play an important part in addressing the growing skills gap in the FESS sector.
