In Germany, the "Meister für Schutz und Sicherheit" is the highest level of education that can be achieved in the security industry, which can only be surpassed with a degree. The master craftsman also includes the trainer aptitude test (AEVO for short), which authorises you to train apprentices in the company.
The foreman for protection and security is usually employed in the areas of regulatory measures or at major events, where it is necessary to create security concepts in cooperation with the authorities in order to ensure a safe and orderly process. In addition, the area of responsibility includes cost and performance accounting for the company in the area of personnel budgets, as well as training in the area of protection and security specialists or service personnel for protection and security. With the title of master craftsman, the employee can also carry out internal training and further training measures.
