The Edexcel Level 2 BTEC Award in Vehicle Immobilisation is designed to provide:
· Training for those in the security sector specialising in vehicle immobilisation
· Opportunities for personnel in the vehicle immobilisation sector to achieve a nationally
recognised Level 2 vocationally specific qualification
· Opportunities for learners to develop a range of skills and techniques, personal qualities and attitudes essential for successful performance in working life
The qualification also links to recent government initiatives and regulatory requirements on codes of practice and statutory instruments and is provided for us with guidance from the Security Industry Authority (SIA). Since March 2004 a licensing system has been in place for all those working in the industry. These licences will last for three years. These qualifications will meet the first two areas within a seven-area framework.
Successful completion of this award allows registration for licence to practise. This licence is valid only for three years and therefore Continuous Professional
Development (CPD) is required (e.g. Edexcel Level 2 NVQ in Controlling Parking Areas and SIA recommended qualifications) in due time for the CPD route.
What are the entry requirements?
You will normally need to have at least one of the following:
· A standard of literacy and numeracy supported by a general education equivalent to GCSE at grades D-G
· Related work experience
· A related Level 1 NVQ or other level 1 qualification
Who is the qualification for?
People employed in the Vehicle Immobilisation sector who require a Licence to Practice
People employed in the Vehicle Immobilisation sector who wish to progress to a more
advanced qualification or a Level 3 Award.
