Skills for Security is the sole designated Issuing Authority for English Apprenticeship frameworks for occupations in Security. This currently encompasses the Security Systems and Providing Security Services frameworks, which have been issued and are available to view on the Skills for Security website, but also includes responsibility for any future, additional frameworks that may be developed for Security sector occupations.
The frameworks provide information to employers about the qualifications that make up the Apprenticeship.
As the English Issuing Authority, Skills for Security is directly accountable to the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills and this new role is separate from Skills for Security's established work as the Sector Skills Body for the private security industry.
If you have an idea for a new framework for the Security sector, please visit the Apprenticeships Framework Online website below for guidance on how to contact us with an expression of interest.
