Apprenticeship Frameworks

Apprenticeships work by offering both on and off the job learning giving your employee the opportunity to develop

their role alongside your experienced employees as well as the chance to work towards nationally

recognised qualifications.  As an employer apprenticeships help to ensure that you have a workforce with the skills

and qualifications needed to undertake their job role.

Skills for Security have developed Apprenticeship Frameworks in both the Security Guarding and Security

Systems sectors.  The frameworks provide information to employers about the qualifications that make up

the Apprenticeship. 

Employers may choose to register to become a centre offering apprenticeships in their own right if they are able

to meet the registration requirements and have the relevant qualified staff, or work with a training provider who is

already registered to offer the Apprenticeship framework.

You may also be able to obtain funding towards the apprenticeship scheme and your local Learning & Skills

Council will be able to provider further information.  Details are available at the LSC website www.lsc.gov.uk

What are the Benefits of Running an Apprenticeship Programme?

• The Frameworks are developed in conjunction with Security Industry employers, therefore, qualifications and training are directly relevant to the job role of the apprentice

• Apprenticeships offer a route for career progression and development

• Planned training and development, via an Apprenticeship, can produce more productive staff

• Staff retention rate can be higher within companies offering apprenticeships
