    PETERBOROUGH, ENGLAND, May 31, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Security specialist Accent on Security (AOS) has announced the introduction of NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) training for all its security guards. The company prides itself on its excellent career development opportunities and has initiated the NVQ courses as part of its continued programme of employee training.

The Peterborough-based company offers a full range of security services throughout the UK. It already offers its staff a number of learning and career development courses specifically designed to meet the needs of their role, the security sector and its clients.

AOS's decision to offer NVQs comes on the back of successful training pilots at various sites around the country.
