NOTICE TO ALL SECURITY OFFICER AND CROWD CONTROLLER LICENSEES

Effective 1 July 2009 there are new approved competency standards and training in respect of the categories of licence of Crowd Controller and/or Security Officer.

The 16 units (click here to view) are offered as part of CPP07 – Property Services Training Package.  A Statement of Attainment issued under the former training package PRS03 will still be accepted, provided that it complies with the previous NT competency requirements.

All current licence holders that have not yet completed the training under the PRS03 or CPP07 Training Packages will be required to upgrade their qualifications to be eligible for licence renewal.

Please note that a Statement of Attainment of any higher level of qualification (i.e. Certificate III in Security Operations), which does not include the prescribed units of competency, will not be accepted.  Therefore, current licence holders who have completed a Certificate III in Security Operations without meeting the prescribed units of competency must comply.
