COURSE INFORMATION
Apollo Global Academy partners with Hikvision to provide dual certification as per follows:
- The WSQ Statement of Attainment (SOA) for Security Technology (ACS) refers to a credential awarded under Singapore’s Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) system. The WSQ system, developed by Skills Future Singapore, is designed to provide skills training and certification across various industries to enhance employability and career progression.
- The Hikvision Security Associate (HSA)-ACS certification can enhance a professional’s credibility in the security industry. It provides recognition of their expertise with Hikvision products and can improve career prospects. This certification is a stepping stone for those looking to deepen their knowledge and advance to more specialized Hikvision certifications, such as the Hikvision Certified Security Professional (HCSP) or Hikvision Certified Security Expert (HCSE).
KEY CONTENT
- Understanding Access Control Concepts:
- Explain the fundamental principles of access control, including authentication, authorization, and accountability.
- Differentiate between various types of access control systems (e.g., standalone, networked, biometric, and RFID-based systems).
- Hikvision Access Control Product Knowledge:
- Identify and describe Hikvision’s range of access control products, including controllers, readers, and software solutions.
- Understand the features, capabilities, and applications of Hikvision access control devices, such as card readers, biometric scanners, and integrated security solutions.
- System Design and Planning:
- Develop a comprehensive plan for deploying an access control system using Hikvision products.
- Consider factors such as site layout, user requirements, and integration with other security systems (e.g., video surveillance) when designing an access control solution.
- Installation and Configuration:
- Perform the installation and wiring of Hikvision access control hardware, including controllers, readers, and door locks.
- Configure access control software to manage user credentials, set access permissions, and create access schedules.
- User Management and Reporting:
- Manage user credentials, roles, and access levels within the Hikvision access control system.
- Generate and interpret reports related to access control activities, such as access logs, attendance records, and security breaches.
- Troubleshooting and Maintenance:
- Diagnose and resolve common issues related to access control hardware and software.
- Perform routine maintenance tasks to ensure the reliable operation of the access control system, including firmware updates and hardware inspections.
- Compliance and Best Practices:
- Understand and apply relevant legal and regulatory requirements related to access control, such as data protection laws and safety regulations.
- Implement industry best practices for access control, including the principle of least privilege, multi-factor authentication, and regular security audits.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- The learner will be able to form access control policies for an organization, after taking into account the levels of access control required in an organisation, its access control procedures and the characteristics and limitations of the organisation’s access control equipment
- The learner will be able to map access points for different levels of authorized entries, after taking into account the levels of access control required in an organisation, its access control procedures and the characteristics and limitations of the organisation’s access control equipment
- The learner will be able to evaluate the types of access control systems to be used based on an organisation’s access control procedures, levels of access control required and the characteristics and limitations of access control equipment
- The learner will be able to explain the configuration and settings of access control based on an organisation’s access control procedures, levels of access control required and the type of access control equipment that an organisation has deployed
- The learner will be able to implement and monitor project implementation of access control systems and ensure that site acceptance tests meet operational requirements based on the access control equipment used
- The learner will be able to read and interpret access control system audit reports based on the organisation’s access control equipment, access control procedures and levels of access control
