In recent years there have been several developments designed to raise competence and qualification levels in the Fire and Security Industries.
In England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland these have included the introduction of specialist apprenticeships. Wales is therefore currently the only part of the UK without a specialist Fire and Security Apprenticeship.
Recently, a group of employers and industry bodies, including ECA and FSA have had positive initial conversations with Welsh Government and Qualifications Wales about developing an equivalent specialist apprenticeship in Wales.
For these discussions to progress further, however, we need to demonstrate a sufficient level of employer interest.
Could all Welsh SSAIB firms please complete this survey about apprenticeships and encourage other businesses within your network to do the same.
