The two pathways are as follows:

1. Undertaking a Certificate II traineeship in Security (Guarding) PRS20198of 6 months duration and on completion registration in a Certificate III traineeship in Security (Guarding), also of 6 months duration.
2. Direct entry into the Certificate III traineeship Security (Guarding) PRS30198 for a nominal term of 1 year.

Note:

Part-time arrangements
Part-time arrangements for Certificate II trainees shall be pro-rata in accordance with arrangements under CIB 21 and shall be established for periods ranging from 8 to 15 months as required to meet weekly hours of work and training.

IVETS
Where an applicant for the Certificate III in Security (Guarding) has already completed the Certificate II in Security (Guarding), the agreed procedure is to enter a credit of 6 months towards the Certificate III traineeship.
