Ask about requirements and availability for your professional experience.
Professional competence
The technical reference guides the work. Background and audit decisions make it possible to understand which competence you want to demonstrate.
See what is considered in each area.
Background
Relate your training and experience to the chosen reference.
Completed training and professional experience provide background for the inquiry. The applicable programme must identify the preparation requirements, the responsible entity and the assessment conditions.
About this stageApplication of knowledge
Explain how you would apply the reference to a specific situation.
A practical situation makes it possible to examine how you define the work, select information and substantiate a finding. The format and conditions of a formal assessment are confirmed for the requested programme.
About this stageCompetence and judgement
Relate each conclusion to the objective, the criteria and the information examined.
Professional competence includes explaining decisions, recognising limits and defending conclusions under review. Ask about the applicable criteria and conditions before presenting a formal candidature.
About this stageScope of the result
The result must identify what was assessed, who issued it and its validity.
A public reference is interpreted together with the type of document, the holder, the issuer and the recorded status. The images on this page are presentation examples and do not represent an issued credential.
About this stageBackground provides context; the professional result depends on an assessment and its decision.
Your activity
Planning and control of private security operations.
For those who want to lead audits, explain their judgement and submit their competences to technical assessment.
The initial inquiry identifies your objective and the relevant requirements. The availability of a formal assessment and its issuer must be confirmed for this programme.
Preparing a candidature
Organise the background that explains your professional role and the work you want to demonstrate.
State the technical reference and the professional objective of your inquiry.
Describe roles, sectors and participation in audits related to the reference.
Prepare examples of planning, gathering information and formulating findings. The formal format is confirmed per programme.
Relate the examples to documents or records you can provide through an agreed channel.
Request the criteria, the format and the identity of the responsible party before confirming an assessment.
Explain why the conclusions rest on the information examined and what their limits are.
A formal decision identifies the result and its scope. Receipt of background does not anticipate a favourable decision.
The inquiry and the submission of background introduce the programme; the formal assessment requires confirmed conditions. Online payment and formal examinations are not yet enabled.
Context matters
The assessment must place the concepts in a specific activity and define what evidence allows a conclusion.
In a practical assessment, the case must make it possible to understand your role, the decisions taken and the evidence available.
Participation in audits, leadership role, scope, team and background that allow what is declared to be checked.
References to clients, persons or documents require an appropriate channel and conditions. The initial submission receives a summary without confidential files.
About the practical assessmentProfile and traceability
