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.
 

Reschedule my CMSI and AASR to an earlier date due to new CMSI schedule available at Paya Lebar, initially I will only complete all the courses in Jun with about one and a half months free time from mid Apr to end May. But after reschedule the two courses together with CCTC and CSSPB, I am able to complete all by mid May.

 For the courses which are In House Assessment and not by Powell, the trainee had to submit their Certificate download from Skill Future Website and submit through Go Business. You can check the status of your training record at PRLD Website under View Train Record in View License Detail, as some training center will do it for the trainee it is better to check before you do renewal for your License. I had decided to complete the other two optional In House courses as they are trying to get enough trainee to confirm the class schedule, so it will extend my course completion from mid May to Mid Jun.

First Aid is so far the most interesting course I had ever attend, as I had already attended both First Aid and Fire Fighting courses twice during my Secondary School in Uniform Group and again in Singapore Polytechnic for my Pre Sea Modules. I thought it will be boring and repetitive like most of the higher level security courses that I am attending now, but to my surprise there are a lot of additional knowledge on workplace safety and new update with other type of medical condition which I had never encounter during my previous courses.

As I already had a lot of experiences when I am working onboard ship, I am back to the inquisitive engineer personality which ask the trainer a lot of difficult questions. I had try my best to control myself when I complete my SO and SSO courses at Acestes and start my SS and SSS courses at NTUC, but I guess a leopard cannot change its spot so it was the different in knowledge that crash with my personal experience that trigger this chain reaction.

I was seriously injure during my national service in one of the exercise which could had ended my life, but I was very lucky that I did not went into shock like what the course material had indicated. I had verify with the trainer and he had confirmed that it is not possible that the situation that I had encountered is true, as his many years of experience had prove that all the medical situation he had encountered actually led to shock after serious injury.

I would not say it is not true and I had also encounter a few cases on board ship which I observe that it does usually develop that condition, so far only my own incident and another incident that cause a Burmese fifth engineer to crush 4 fingers are rare where the serious injury didn't led to shock condition. In other situation like the 70% 2nd degree chemical fire burn and the finger crush by auto backwash filter gear arrangement, the victim does display sign of shock.

I am not sure if I ever wrote about my military training incident but I does remember I wrote about all the shipboard experience, the fifth engineer incident happen on my cadet ship Orion and the other two incidents happen in new built vessel Austin and an old vessel Auriga. There are also a few other incidents that happen on other ship where even well train ship crews start to panic and completely forgot how they are suppose to react when the real situation happened. Most of those are on Kelana Satu where I really gain a lot of experience due to the condition of the vessel. 

As what one of my lecturer in Singapore Polytechnic like to say, Marine Engineer should be Cool, Calm and Collected. And also what one of my army officer told us, Rank is only what you wear, but Respect is what you earn. Better speak up and be a fool for a day, than to remain silent and be a fool forever. There are no stupid questions, only inquisitive idiot.

A lot of changes recently, decided to take LMSO and PSD. LMSO is night class and it might be cancelled together with PSD because of not enough people enroll for the courses, my AASR was postponed to Mid May together with LMSO. Lucky both are at the same training center, and I happen to stay nearby. I was told that they require CSSSV for Data Center, so I am planning for it at End of Jun, I had already confirmed two ad hoc events jobs in End May and Mid Jun.


 


 


 


 


 There are 2 Telegram Group which post a lot of Ad Hoc Security Jobs, you just need to Search for Singapore Security Officer Jobs and you will be able to find it. There are 7 Facebook Group which post a lot of Permanent Jobs, you just need to Search for Security Jobs in  Singapore and you will be able to find it. 

Another changes came by surprise, the Robotics course which I had waited for 6 months finally available at End Jun. This had make me decide to delay the CSSSV course from End Jun to Early Jul, as the Robotics course seem hard to come by I think it would be a wise decision to put it as priority.  


 


 Receive an email which say that I am able to include my First Aid as a Skill in Job Street, I went through the trouble to upload all my previous Education Certificate on Skill Future Website so that it will also show on my Job Street Profile too. I had know about the PSLE and GCE O Level are available at Skill Future Website long time back, now I am able to keep a record of my other Education Certificates for easy access.

Manage to confirmed another F1 Race Job at Early Oct, had already decided to do Relief Duty for Acestes after I completed all my courses. Had been trying to get all the stuffs I need, at the same time also helping another classmate to get some stuffs which he need too. Been having a lot of meet up with two other close friends which I only get to know after I start my courses at NTUC, we decided to do as many Ad Hoc Events to gain experience since we are the only three that complete all the courses until SSS and still haven't start any security job until now.
