Is CCTV security in Manchester a good job?
From technology to culture, shopping to innovating, Manchester is a UK city that has tons to offer. Working in security, you have the chance to experience it all. You could be providing crucial surveillance to keep public places safe, or monitoring crowds at a music event featuring stars from around the world.
The brilliant thing about the security industry is that it suits so many different kinds of people. While Door Supervisor courses are more suited to night owls or physically active people, for example, CCTV training leads to good jobs for people who show a natural attention to detail.
If you're great at spotting body language, have a talent for knowing what people are up to even if they think you don't see it, or know how to split your focus between lots of different places to look at once, CCTV jobs are a brilliant choice.
While it's less physically demanding than other security work, the challenges in CCTV are instead about staying alert. You also need a good sense of what's morally right, because if you choose to follow someone by camera, you need to be able to justify why they caught your attention.
For example:
✔️ A customer sneaked an item from a store shelf into their bag
✔️ An employee is standing for a long time by the office cash box, looking around to check if anyone can see them
✔️ An argument is becoming physically violent
You'll learn more about CCTV best practices on the course. Businesses of all kinds are bringing more and more cameras into their security strategies, and that means this is a growing job market to move into once you have your CCTV Operator Licence.
This SIA-recognised 3-day course teaches you how to view, record and store CCTV footage. It'll also train you to be a proactive CCTV Operator who can prevent crime - awesome!
