Training firm SAFE report that they have gained access to the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) Employer Training Pilot funding in the Black Country, Derbyshire, and Birmingham.
Other regions are to be added shortly, the trainers add.
Under the scheme, SAFE is able to provide training and BTEC certification to SIA requirements for security officers at no cost to participating companies. In addition, for companies employing less than 250 people, the LSC makes a contribution to the employer for the cost of releasing the employee for training.
