Exemption and Part-exemption Arrangements

If you already have some form of UK qualification in CCTV operation it may mean that you are exempt from all or part of the SIA approved training.

Partial Exemption

You may be exempt from some or all of the practical skills element of the SIA-endorsed training and assessment, you must:
•have worked in a public space surveillance CCTV control room within the last three years, and/or;
•hold a certificate for completion of formal CCTV training that has been issued in the last three years.

You will still need to take the knowledge-based exam. Due to the evolving nature of the laws governing public space surveillance and the role of public space surveillance CCTV operatives, it is recommended that you undertake a minimum of six hours refresher training before taking the exam.
