Some Serious Help Needed

Hello and welcome to the forum. There is work out there, I won't go into my own little networks or what not but you have to broaden your horizens and you have to start off small and grow big. You mentioned that you don't want to work on a building site in the middle of winter, some RST jobs are exactly the same, patrolling round a fancy villa in the pissing rain. Same detail, and there is no shame in doing this kind of work, It is the mainstay of the work, you won't be spending every minute of the day as the BG on your principles shoulder. Alot of the time, they like to stay at home.

As people have said, it all depends on what you are after as to what course you do. What I will say though, is the SIA is only good for the UK. As a sometimes Employer and sometimes employee. When i'm doing my own contracts in Europe, the European guys get the edge, you are facing competion from France, Germany, Spain etc etc and they have some pretty good courses too.

Think outside of the box, the SIA means nothing, You can work in the UK but i've met some right numptey's who have got that expensive piece of plastic that i would'nt want to be within 10 foot of on a job. Go for the reputation of your training provider, there are company's out there who offer these flash by night courses and you'll scrape through the exam and come away with your nice shiney licence but you'll have learnt F@&k all, next thing you'll be getting slated for knowing nothing when it won't really be your fault, but the fault of the training provider who just rushed you through.

In my opinion you should consider: Nemesis Group, Ronin SA, Ronin Concepts, Anubis, Greymans,

But remember, opinions are like arseholes, everybodies got one and everybodies course is the best!!!

Only you can ultimately make the choice, but buy cheap, buy twice.

Good luck in your new career

Kev, thanks for the words of wisdom. This is why I joined this forum to get guys who know what they are talking about giving and sharing advice.

Im serious about the building site stuff though lol. My time stood on a gate in the pissing rain in november was never a problem because at the time the Military was what I wanted to do.

In my honest opinion I have outgrown my trade in the RAF and want to be good at something else. My problem is that im the kind of person that either jumps in with two feet and gives 110% or I dont dso something at all.

I have had alot of negative people giving me advice about how CP work is only for ex SAS guys and that the money is good for about 2 weeks a year.

I have decided to become a CPO and ill give it my all, I guess its just natural to have questions and or worries about a new career.

Thanks to all you guys who have offered positive and very honest advice.
