Common questions
Can security professionals specialise in particular areas?
Absolutely, many people choose to specialise in certain areas of security, including:
- Crowd control – working at major events such as concerts and sports matches
- CCTV surveillance – operating and monitoring security systems
- Armed security – cash-in-transit or personal protection roles (requires additional certification)
- Bodyguard services – close personal protection for individuals or VIPs
If you’re interested in specific aspects of security or a particular career path, there is always suitable training available.
Can you transfer your security licence and qualifications between states?
You definitely can, however the process may vary depending on where you’re coming from and moving to. Security licences are regulated at the state and territory level, meaning transferring a licence between states requires approval from the new state’s regulatory body.
If you’ve completed Certificate II or Certificate III in Security Operations, these are nationally recognised. So, your qualifications are relevant in every state – it’s just the licensing requirements that may vary.
