Applying for NSI silver

[AllStar]

Hi guys

Been in the Security industry for 18 years and operating on my own for 3 years. I’m considering on applying for NSI silver as it’s a small business. I would be greatful if anyone has any advise when applying or is there a company out there to assist when applying for the first time? 

 

Thanks

Congrats firstly

are you the only engineer on the firm?

i know they do an “application day”

you can attend to see all the requirements and see how far off you are, it’s not free though.

Thank you &  for getting back so quickly. I am the only engineer would that be an issue? 

Would the dates & costs be on their website or will I have to email them do you reckon ?

I believe it might be an issue yes, I was asked this by them as if you are Unwell/ holiday ect. Someone needs to be able to provide engineer response, a secretary will not count, it has to be an engineer on the ground, or so I was told.

 

i think there may be ways around it regarding “buddy” agreements and such, where another NSI firm would help you out. But this was the first question they asked me.

 

definately send them an email and they will send you the application details and some prices or you could call them and have a word.
