Certification: Security Systems: Video Security Systems Designer - Level II

The Video Security Systems Designer program track includes a sequence of two levels of certification, based on the complexity of the systems being installed/serviced. NICET bases the content of the levels largely on a system classification scheme involving three system types - "A", "B", and "C". Certification at a particular level is achieved by demonstrating knowledge of and experience in the work associated with certain types of systems.

The Video Security Systems Designer exam is delivered on a computer at Pearson Vue Testing Centers. Computer-based testing (CBT) allows NICET to extend several benefits to our customers: more flexible exam dates and appointment times; immediate scheduling and confirmations; and quicker exam scoring.
