This briefing is designed for suitably qualified locksmiths who wish to become SCEC (Security Construction & Equipment Committee) Approved. The SCEC Approved Locksmith maintains mechanical and digital combination locks fitted to SCEC Approved containers.

Subjects covered in the one day briefing includes:
- Containers inspection, servicing and reporting procedures.

When a locksmith meets all the requirements for SCEC approval, their details are entered on a SCEC Approved Lockmith Register which is maintained by T4 Protective Security.
The briefing takes one day and generally conducted from 8.30am to 5.00pm in Canberra. The cost for the course is $490.00 which includes all course materials and a light lunch.
