How to become a qualify CCTV, Fire alarm, Intruder alarm ,Emergency lighting installe

[mikex79]

hello everybody
I just wonder what should I do to become a qualified installer of:

1. CCTV - I mean to be able to install certified cctv systems that would be connected to police etc , that i would be able to do big jobs for comanies

2. Intruder alarms - same like above, certified installations etc

3. fire alarms - as above

4. emergency lighting

do I need to be a qualified electrician 2330 or NVQ3 to do it or i need to finish any particular course to get qualified or i need them two.
Is there anybody in the industry already that would direct me to the right path as I am just about to finish my 2330 level 3 and sit my 17th edition exam. I have 2 years experince as an electrician's mate and some experience in installing cctv and intruder alarms but I would like to become a qualified installer of all above so also if you know please post tha names of courses that i need to do regarding my question
do you know any training centres/colleges in London where i can get this qualifications?
regards

I would like to add that you see many companies on the market that gives you training and some certificates or diplomas but which one is the right one , which one is an approved training centre? what to pay attention to while choosing the education centre and the course?

You dont really need to be qualified to do those jobs. If you are a spark then you pick it up (and you get better at it). If you are going on your own, then in order to do jobs for the authorities you will need to join one of the trade bodies SSAIB, NSI etc Most insurers will ask for membership of one of those bodies. I did a C&G qualification in Burglar Alarm installation in the earrly 80's but it doesnt really teach you how to fit them. I would get experience with one of the bigger installers. If you are willing to learn then you'll pick it up. Good luck!

Experience is the best qualification-a piece of paper to back up your experience is always handy and makes membership of trade bodies a tad easier.
Remember-an engineer is degree qualified-too many idiots running round calling themselves "ENGINEERS" these days-washing machine engineers,alarm engineers,-window cleaners=vision technicians, get the picture.

GOOD LUCK
