However, some positions with greater security responsibility may require one. We will always clarify this requirement during the registration process and can often point you towards affordable training providers if needed.
Shifts typically run through the night, often from 8 PM or 10 PM until 6 AM or 8 AM. Patterns can vary: some roles are 4 on, 4 off; others are 5 nights per week.
