How to Start a Career as a Fire and Security Alarm Engineer
It was a pleasure to train Andy, an ex-British Army soldier who served our country for over 15 years, and Ade, a security officer wishing to make a career move and pursue a new career in the security field. They both completed the Cube’s Level 3 Award in CCTV Installation, a popular course for students interested in starting a career in the security alarm industry. And, it’s also comforting to know that both of them will return to complete their IP CCTV Installation, Intruder Alarm, and Fire Alarm courses with Cube Learning.
Cube is happy to assist these two individuals in achieving their professional goals. If you’re looking for a career in the fire and security industry, becoming a fire and security alarm engineer could be a great choice.
