Kirk'yBoy Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Lol Thanks Oxo. A quick question for you all, I have been working as a Mobile Patrol Officer for the last 5 yrs and after dealing with alarm systems and seeing what the Engineers do close up it is really a career i'ld love to get involved in, I am 36 so would say an apprenticeship is out of the question, I would rather do a course and training but have no idea on what course would qualify me to become an Intruder Alarm Service/Installer Engineer, any help would be much appreciated, thanks. Kirk. P.S I am currently unemployed hence making a new start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi and welcome If you have some basic electronics skills then send out your CV to all the local companies near you. You may be lucky myself and my previose co have often taken on mature trainees, assuming that you are keen and willing to work for peanuts for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi there, with reference to C+G 1852, you could try this book as a starter, it'll certainly help you get some kip! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intruder-Alarms-Gerard-Honey/dp/0750681675/ Just bear in mind it was written before the very latest regs (PD6662 2010) but is the most recent (only recent) text book out there that can be read by an absolute starter. Whatever you do why not have a look on fleebay and have a play with an old system, like a basic scantronic / texecom thats going cheap? Appreciate funds might be tight but worth it when you approach a co. and then you can have some idea what you are talking about before you even start. And welcome to the forums So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
