Advance your security career to supervisory level with our SSG-approved WSQ Guard and Patrol – Supervise Security Officers (SSOC) course. This mandatory Progressive Wage Model (PWM) module equips Senior Security Officers with the essential competencies to effectively manage security teams, oversee operations, and coordinate emergency responses.

What is the SSOC Course?

The Supervise Security Officers (SSOC) course is a Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) programme approved by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) under the Progressive Wage Model (PWM) framework for Singapore’s security sector. This comprehensive training prepares Senior Security Officers to step into Security Supervisor (SS) roles by developing critical supervisory and operational management skills.

Why Take the SSOC Course?
