The QASRS aims to provide the public with information on the basic security training courses which meet the standards recognised by the Security and Guarding Services Industry Authority (the Authority). The Authority has invited the Security Services Training Board (SSTB) of the Vocational Training Council (VTC) to develop the QASRS to ensure that training courses approved under the Scheme are properly run and consistently maintained at a standard acceptable to the Authority.

With effect from 1 April 2004, an applicant for Category A, B and/or C Security Personnel Permit (SPP) who has sat and passed a course-end examination, within 1 year before submitting his/her application, of a security training course that has met the requirements of a scheme for quality assurance that has been endorsed by the Authority and announced in a manner that it thinks fit is deemed to have met the criterion of "Proficiency in Security Work" for issuing an SPP. Any person who has successfully completed a valid recognized course, passed its relevant examination and is able to produce a valid certificate can be exempted from the basic training on being employed by a security company. This exemption will be valid for five years from the date of successful completion of the valid recognized course.

Details of the QASRS are available at "How the Scheme Operates” of this website.

Information on QASRS is also available at the Institute of Professional Education And Knowledge (PEAK) of the VTC (9/F, VTC Tower, 27 Wood Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong or 2919 1575 or at http://www.peak.vtc.edu.hk/cpdc).
