I had initially only plan for completing the SO courses with PAPP for Ad Hoc Events, but they could not get enough people for SSO courses and ask for my help. After I completed SSO courses, I thought I might as well go all the way to complete the Diploma for CSO. But after finding out from a few people I met during the courses who got more experience in this industry, they had given a few advice which make me adjust my plan to suit the present situation better.
One of the advice is that I only need to go until SSS which enough to cover all kind of different duties and responsibilities, another advice is that Light Industry, Data Center, Hotel, Office Building and School are better than Auxiliary Police. Airport, Shopping Mall and Condo. Of course that are advantage and disadvantage for all but overall it is all depend on our personal preferences. There are also many other option like Traffic Marshal and Mobile Patrol, In House and Ad Hoc are better than Full Time as there are less responsibilities, higher pay and better benefit without the need to tie down to a fixed commitment and more freedom.
I had choose Acestes over NTUC as they response faster and their course fee is cheaper, I later also found that smaller class allow for more dedicated teaching which benefit us better than the refreshment provided for the morning and afternoon tea. As they only have courses for SO and SSO only, I will still have to do my further study in NTUC later after I had completed all my basic courses with them.
We can apply for the Security Officer License at Go Business website with $16 payment, we can then go to the Union for Security Employee at Textile Center to apply for the Security ID Pass with $25 payment. The notification will allow you to register with 2 companies and the new requirement doesn't require you to do full time which I will explain later.

As I am able to meet more people from the industry after I started my courses in NTUC, I start to get more information on various aspect of the different career paths. I sign up for more additional courses like CCTC, CSSPB, First Aid and Fire Safety so that I am able to have more options and meet most of the requirements. I have been thinking that I would need to do full time for the 3 years experience require for my SSS License but after meeting one of the Trainer who is in charge of PLRD before I found out that I can continue to do Ad Hoc as the notification is only for the old requirement.
