CCTV Operator Training

[CompleteNoob 0]

Hi. I'm pretty sure this isn't the right forum, but I can't find a better one. Apologies in advance. I'm trying to change careers and get into CCTV surveillance (particularly casino or hotel), but I can't find any training resources for becoming a CCTV operator in the US (specifically California). I'd appreciate any suggestions, training courses, etc. Thanks.

Hi. Not a bad career change ….. but it’s not easy to get into casino work …. Infact impossible…… reason being is as well as licence training you also need casino training….. and there usually only use in-house staff …… as one retires next moves up a position 

 

but before you do anything you need to be sia licensed ……. They offer training….. you won’t get anywhere without it

sia will also give you more job opportunities like airport and harbour work as well as boarder’s 

here are two links worth looking into one is also a forum worth being a member and getting to know jobs a laws and meeting others in that career

Thanks for the links and for the casino job insight. It’s a bit disappointing but not a deterrent. I’ll start with your suggestion about SIA training. Cheers.
