Company History
Over the last 7 years South Africa has experienced a rapid economic growth and has become the powerhouse of Africa. In order to maintain and encourage this momentum it is necessary to promote investor confidence (domestic and foreign). This has necessitated that local governments, business and industry reassess the mechanisms employed to ensure the protection of assets, prevent loss of revenue, inspire consumer confidence and install public safety. It is with these outcomes in mind that the use of Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) as a preventative and investigative tool has undergone a revival.
The installation of a CCTV system is instrumental in achieving the desired outcomes; however it is the competency of the operators that make the system effective. A CCTV Operator that is competent and possesses the required skills, techniques and knowledge and operates within a controlled environment has been proven to be an effective means of combating and preventing loss. Amanda Wasserman, an expert in CCTV Operations, possessing over 18 years experience (locally and internationally) knew it was not sufficient to place a security guard in a Camera Room and expect him/her to operate effectively.
Operators require specific skills, techniques and knowledge would for the development of a CCTV Operator Specific Training Courses specifically tailored to meet industry and business requirements and to ensure that the operators had the competency and confidence to conduct their duties efficiently and effectively.
It was this desire to promote a higher standard amongst CCTV operators that led Amanda to explore the market place and offer structured CCTV Operator Training courses and specialized workshops to the private and business sector under the company "In-Focus Security" which was established in 2000 as a sole proprietorship.
Over the next 5 years CCTV training was conducted for Industry leaders eager to improve the standard of their Operators performance. Repeat business and an increase in expressions of interests for training and joint ventures have confirmed that the training given to date has:
- Been of a high standard.
- Had a positive impact and
- Is a sort after service.
Having confirmed the industry need for this specialized training, Amanda created ISASA Security Training cc. in 2005 with the vision of becoming: "The most successful Global CCTV Control Room Training Consultants"
