Normally, you can jump to higher position in other MNC.


If you are a PE mean you have network. You can have additional income as freelancer by sell your services to have to other company that require PE services such as Facility Management.

I support you for joining security industry as part time Security Officer (SO) and hope you become a PE soon.


3 steps to be a SO

1) Go to PLRD to apply for licence first and get approval from them because they may reject you for whatever reason such as you are not a 'fit or proper person' to hold a security officer licence.

2) After getting approval from PLRD, then you go for these 3 courses:

• Provide guard and patrol services
• Handle security incidents and services
• Recognise Terrorist Threats

3) Then go get your licence card and look for a part time SO job.


If you are joining AETOS or Certis CISCO, most of their site assignment (apart from events) are Protected Areas and Protected Places which is the reason why you needs to top up 1 more course:

• Deterrence (Perform Security Duties at Protected Areas and Protected Places)

For event, you can only be a Front loader, prowler (patrolling) and other general guard duties.


If you want to be Screening officer (X-ray / HHMD), you needs to go for additional courses depending what scope of what you are doing:

• Conduct Security Screening using X-ray machine
• Conduct Security Screening of Person and Bag

If you want to control traffic at road, you needs to go for additional course:

• Conduct Crowd and Traffic Control

If you want to do other scope of work like operating CCTV, you needs to have Senior SO (SSO) rank. How to have SSO? W.e.f of 1 Jan 2019, you only needs to have 0.5 year of SO experience and 2 additional course:

• Manage Disorderly Conduct and Threatening Behaviour
• Operate Basic Security Equipment

So in short, what you can do depend on your rank or courses you have pass. Still want to join?

I not PE yet. Hopefully one day can get to be a PE.

sinkie p.e.board ish jin strict ones...

Hi,
Just returned from the PE BOARD @ jem office tower. Went to inquire and clarify some stuffs and just sharing it in forum.

I only enquired about electrical. I believr mechanical will be the same.
Only NTU/NUS is recognised by the board here.

Those in
PSB (Newcastle, coventry)
MDIS
SIT (TUM, Newcastle) ,
Are NOT recognised by the board. One may think the board will recognise if you complete half or more of your total modules in the home campus, this is not true. Will still not be recognised.

EVEN if you topup your current degree with NTU/NUS Naster, chances are still veryveryvery low and the staff suggested not to. As in her history of working there, only seen 1-2person managed to take the pe exam. So no point.

So i asked, what are the options for students who couldn't get into ntu/nus.
The staff suggested,

1. After poly, go to Malaysia university and complete the degree there. As long the degree is accredited by "engineers board of Malaysia", the local PE board here will recognise. This is the cheapest option. Or you can go to Australia/UK/germany to study their degree there. But of course, if you go aussie for example, the degree must be accredited by "engineers australia".

Those studying in PSB uni of Newcastle for example, even though it is accredited by engineers Australia, the board here will still not recognise. However, Aussie PE Board will recognise and u can be PE there.

I asked, what if i be PE in Australia and come back to SG, is it possible to convert? Answer is : NO.



Just sharing.

Summary,
basically if you cant get into ntu/nus, just go overseas uni and make sure its accredited. Cheapest option is Malaysia. Nearer and cheaper.


Do not believe if any of the private U's told u it is recognised by the board here. Because it isn't.

Thank you

I’m not civil trained. Asking for a Friend, is Newcastle under BCA Academy recognised as a degree for PE accreditation?
