Why did you decide to earn a national vocational qualification certificate?
I have decided to earn the national vocational qualification certificate of a security guard because I truly wanted to become a security guard in order to contribute to a higher level of security in the society, and according to the legislation, this was the fastest way to start pursuing this profession. The certificate also coincides with my way of life and thinking, since I attach particular importance to safety. Although the programme needed to obtain the national vocational qualification is relatively short, it allowed me to gain a lot of knowledge and obtain an even greater awareness of safety through lessons provided by renowned experts in the field.
What does the national vocational qualification that you have earned mean to you, and how does it help you as you exercise your profession or your activities?
Since the need for security is one of the basic human needs, it is noticeable that an ever-increasing number of companies and individuals are deciding to protect their assets. Obtaining this certificate has allowed me to meet the necessary condition to finally be able to start working at a security company, which gave me an opportunity to participate in guaranteeing a safer society. For me, the Security guard NVQ certificate is a confirmation of my skills acquired as part of this training. The knowledge that I have acquired allows me to perform my work confidently, professionally and legally. The story of a security guard obviously does not end by earning the NVQ certificate since you can further educate or specialise through individual private security modules, which is what I have decided to do.
