Tavcom do a Foundation CCTV and a CCTV installation training. do you think this would be enough training to start doing small installations like domestic and small businesses? not huge industrail multiple camera installations! ! Joe!
Service Engineer Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Welcome to the Forums Joe.. Glad you weren`t too put out by our greetings but we get this sort of question quite often, usually from a DIY`er or someone just curious about competitors pricing. Stick around, were a great bunch really.... And yeah, the Tavcom Foundation CCTV and a CCTV installation training should set you off on the right tracks. ........................................................

Alexg Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Comon guys lets give him a little help, he obviously has the intent to go on a course and learn the trade, he just wants a little bit of advice from people who are already established )
Service Engineer Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 liability insurance: Exactly what it says really, but basically if you damage a customers property your liable, this insurance covers your liabillities, usually at least £2Million worth. Efficacy insurance: Simply put this covers your AR#E if the equipment you fitted fails to perform, the equipment must do the job it was intended. ........................................................

Try and get a bit of a plan in your own mind of what you want to do..... Garry. You can lead a horse to water but you carnt climb a ladder with a bell in both hands.

Guest Peter James Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Joe Most people in this trade have previose experience, why not try and get some before you start your business. Theres nothing worse than trying to sell something you know nothing about. Have you thought of working for a security company for a year or so, get the valuble information and experience you need, and get paid whilst you learn. Where abouts in the country are you? Pete
Guest Joe's Security Services Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 im in surrey! i was thinking of doing something like that! but i was wondering weather cctv businesses would be willing on taking me on!! Joe
Guest Peter James Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Most Security companies would be interested in keen individuals. There is a shortage of good engineers. Get the YP out and send some cv's round. Pete
