About the Qualification

A Level 2 Award for Cash and Valuables in Transit (CViT) Operatives in the Private Security Industry is a prerequisite for those seeking to work as a CViT operative in the private security industry (PSI).

One criterion for obtaining a licence is the achievement of a licence-linked qualification.
