Getting To Your CCTV Training Course In Newcastle

Venue location

The location for CCTV training in Newcastle is Royal Station Hotel, Neville Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 5DH.

By Train

Getting to the venue by train is very super easy. The large central train station serves the venue well, with trains arriving from local areas and cities all over the UK.

The central station is:

Newcastle Train Station

Neville St, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 5DL

Getting to this venue couldn't be easier, and you won't need a bus or a taxi. It's a one-minute walk as both the station and venue are on Neville Street. Just come out of the station and head east towards the taxi rank. Turn right, and in 200 feet, you will see the venue on your right.

Parking

Parking could be an issue at this venue, and with the train station and amenities being so accessible, you might want to leave your car at home. The hotel does have parking, but it's very limited and likely to have been taken by guests. You can park adjacent to the hotel in the NCP Central Station Long Stay Car Park.

However, because you will have to be at your course at 9 am, you will have to pay the peak time rate for parking which is a whopping £17 per day. Car parks close to the venue are similarly high priced. We suggest heading to justpark.com to find a place to park your car. Here you can reserve a parking space at a reasonable price, such as:

Gateshead Wilko Car Park

This car park is priced at £4 per day. It's a 17-minute walk back to the venue from here.

Parking on Wordsell Drive

You can park here for £5.60. It is also a 17-minute walk back to the venue.

Ulita Arena Car Park

Parking here for the day will cost £6 per day. It's a 21-minute walk back to the venue.

In short, Newcastle is not a car-friendly place, so think carefully before you decide to drive here.

Walkability

There is even more reason to ditch the wheels for a few days bearing in mind this vast city is a walker's paradise scoring 97/100. You can head to shops, banks, cafes, pubs, and pharmacies within easy reach with many choices. If you like to stretch your legs and take in some stress-relieving fresh air, then you can head to Windmill Hills Park, Leazes Park and Elswick Park.

Accommodation

If you are staying in Newcastle for your course, then there are loads of budget options. Top of our picks is The Hotel Express, Gateshead, located 1.1 miles from the city centre. In fact, you can stay here if you choose a single room with a shared bathroom, for not much more than it would cost you to park your car for a day in the city centre. All rooms come with a flat-screen TV, free wifi and free parking. Cheaper still is the Albatross Hostel, if you are okay with sharing in the heart of the city centre. Perks include use of the kitchen, free wifi and use of the pool table, also for free.

Food

There are literally hundreds of choices for lunch in this bustling city. The closest branded places to the venue include Caffe Nero, Burger King and Starbucks, within a few minutes walk. If you fancy trying out an independent cafe, The Pink Lane Cafe and Turros Cafeteria are also super close to the venue.

SIA CCTV Job Opportunities in Newcastle

Newcastle is a huge city with a population of over 800,000. It is teaming with opportunities for CCTV-qualified security professionals. Newcastle is a beautiful city and has much to offer in terms of SIA CCTV opportunities. It has its own international airport. It's also home to the Toon Army, who play at St James Park.

Both of these places employ CCTV staff around the year. Newcastle is regarded as one of the best universities in the country, with many sites across the city where students learn and live. Once again, there are opportunities here for CCTV staff to keep these young people safe. Unfortunately, Newcastle has a frightening binge-drinking culture.

Drinks are served cheaply, and students are often the victims of their own heavy drinking and locals who are happy to pick and win a fight. CCTV footage is part of the solution to this widespread issue, with operatives required in bars, clubs, and hospitals to attempt to prevent, monitor, and provide evidence of violence and drink spiking. Newcastle is also alive during the day with hundreds of stores and numerous shopping that require CCTV security professionals as part of their teams to crack down on shoplifting which is also a problem in this deprived city.
