Earn as you Learn with a Security Systems Apprenticeship

Uxbridge College and Skills for Security are working together to train the security and fire systems installers of the future. As an apprentice on the Skills for Security scheme, you will be working for an employer who will train you in the practical skills needed to install and maintain security cameras, intruder and fire alarms and card-access systems. You will also attend Uxbridge College one day a week to study for the technical certificate that is an essential component of the apprenticeship. Entry to the scheme is usually at Level 2 (Intermediate) which usually takes approximately 18 months to complete, but many students do go on to complete the Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship.

Once qualified you can progress to running your own jobs, specifying the best equipment to meet the clients’ requirements. There are opportunities for further, specialist training and you can progress to supervisory and management roles.
