The Challenge
In line with the changing landscape of security, The Challenge has once again evolved for 2012, with the task requiring critical assessment, as well as installation skills. Working as a pair, participants will be required to commission an existing system in line with EN standards. As in previous years, points will be allocated against the various disciplines, taking into account the different skills required. The team with the most points wins The Challenge.
The contest requires the apprentice duos to:
 |
take a short written test covering the European Standards |
|
|
critically asses a previously installed intruder alarm system |
|
|
identify two faults, which had been placed into the system |
|
|
re-commission the system in line with EN standards |
|
|
add additional protection |
