SECURITY
Security Technician Certification
An ASIAL initiative, the Security Technician Certification
program provides professional recognition and an industry
recognised career pathway for all technicians working in the
security industry. The online training resources, face-to-face
theory and practical assessments are provided by a nationally
recognised Registered Training Organisation.
The STC credential is a three-level technical certification
program for the electronic security industry that covers alarms,
access control, CCTV and IP networks. Through a mixture
of self-paced learning, face-to-face theory and practical
assessments at approved assessment centres (based in
Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth), participants
are required to demonstrate their knowledge of theory and
practical skills.
Designed to provide a career pathway for security technicians,
the program is also a proactive initiative to attract and retain
skilled workers capable of meeting the future needs of the
security industry. Units associated with the program can be
recognised as competency based units under the Australian
Quality Training Framework. The program incorporates three
levels of recognition:
• Certified Security Technician;
• Advanced Security Technician; and,
• Master Security Technician.
