LONDON (Reuters) -
Qualifications body Edexel is to offer a new training course for "vehicle immobilisers" promising to help wheel-clampers deal with situations when "conflict may arise".
The BTEC (Business and Technology Education Council) award requires 30 hours training, covering the responsibilities of the job as well as "conflict management" and "improving communication skills".
The aim is to "raise the standards and professionalism of private security industry staff working in areas where public safety is paramount", Edexel said.
The government has promised to crackdown on rogue wheel-clamping firms who charge large sums to remove clamps, and there are now plans to introduce a licensing scheme at the end of the year.
If wheel-clamping is not for you, then Edexel also revealed it was launching a BTEC for night club bouncers, or "door supervisors" as it calls them.
"Door supervisors and vehicle immobilisers are priority sectors for licensing and the availability of these new qualifications not only helps employees to gain their licence but also to improve the skills and professionalism in the services they provide," said Karen Wilkinson, competency manager from the Security Industry Authority.
