CERTIFICATION OF EXISTING GUARDFORCE INITIATED UNDER THE AMBIT OF RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL) The Governing Council of SKSDC took historic decision to approve

RECOGINISATION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL) protocols under

which entire guard force of every private guarding company will be assessed and certified as per the

National Skill Policy of the Government of India.

SKSDC has undertaken the most

important objective of assessing and certifying the existing workforce, in line with the NOS and PSAR Act

2005. While the framework for assessment and certification of the

new entrants has already been put

in place, the same for the existing workforce based on RPL has been planned as spelt out in this protocol.

This would systematically enhance the quality, brand value, progression prospects and above all, the self-

esteem of the workforce.

RPL is primarily a method of assessment that acknowledges skills and knowledge gained through

formal training, non-formal/ informal training, work and life

experience. The main principle of RPL is that the focus of recognition would be based on the outcomes of

learning, rather than how, when or where the learning occurred. It is a process of acknowledging prior

learning and formally awarding it a value / credit, no matter how the

learning is achieved. This would facilitate his assessment and certification allowing vertical

progression and placement. This is the mechanism for determining competence of individuals against a

benchmark and takes into account both the RPL and the existing skills,

which would be tested. Through this mechanism all security guards presently working with their

respective companies will attain STATUS OF SKILLED WORKER

which will prove very beneficial to them.

Major guarding companies such as G4S, Tops Grup, Premier Shield, ISS-SDB, SSMS, AP Securitas,

Force1, GDX, Checkmate, SLV, Perfect Security, Lineage

Securitas has already started the certification process in their various units.
