Core Curriculum

What You Will Learn

The programme curriculum is structured to build knowledge progressively — from foundational concepts through to advanced integration and professional practice. Every module is aligned with the skills needed in today's electronic security industry.

Surveillance Fundamentals

Core principles of electronic security systems, surveillance theory, and the legal and ethical frameworks governing monitoring installations.

CCTV & IP Camera Installation

Hands-on techniques for mounting, aligning, and configuring both analogue CCTV and modern IP-based camera systems for diverse environments.

DVR, NVR & Remote Monitoring

Configuration of digital and network video recorders, cloud-based storage platforms, and remote access monitoring solutions for real-time oversight.

Coverage Planning & Positioning

Strategic principles for designing surveillance coverage zones, eliminating blind spots, and optimizing camera placement for maximum effectiveness.

Technical & Infrastructure Skills

Beyond cameras and recording systems, students develop the critical infrastructure knowledge that separates qualified technicians from general installers. These skills are essential for compliant, efficient, and scalable security deployments.

Network Fundamentals

IP addressing, network topology, and integration principles that allow surveillance systems to communicate seamlessly across modern IT infrastructure.

Cabling & Low-Voltage Installation

Correct cable selection, routing, termination, and power supply practices including PoE (Power over Ethernet) and low-voltage electrical standards.

Troubleshooting & Diagnostics

Systematic fault-finding methodologies, signal testing, and preventative maintenance procedures to keep systems operational and compliant.

Safety & Professional Standards

Adherence to industry safety codes, professional installation practices, and the documentation standards required by security regulators and clients.

Learning Journey

Your 12-Week Programme Structure

Each phase builds directly on the last, ensuring learners consolidate core theory before advancing to practical installation tasks. By the final phase, students will be capable of planning, deploying, and maintaining a complete surveillance installation from scratch.
