Thanks for clearing up what you meant by that.
As regards the Btec qualification, we offer a level 3 course through Regal security in the UK so I am in no way downing the Quals however it is necessary to point out to all that in HE work it most likely wont matter a bit if you have it or not, employmentwise it is not always necessary, to advance in the company it usually will not matter either.
I know this because I was a T/L for several years in the pit and at that time had no SIA license nor Btec or any other college quals.
I have since obained these as part of my UK obligations but have never been asked for them as part of a HE gig, (mostly HMG /FCO contracts are the only ones that require it).
I value experience and training (relevant to the task) as I am sure most others do, CP and HECPO are two very different animals and as such training in one does not automatically qualify you for the other.
