Become an SFJ Awards External Quality Assurance (EQA) Associate

Register your interest in becoming an EQA for qualifications in the private security industry

SFJ Awards is the awarding organisation working across the policing, justice, fire and rescue and private security sectors. Regulated in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, SFJ Awards seeks to offer the best quality and most trusted qualifications in the private security industry.

We’re seeking applications from candidates to become External Quality Assurance Associates and would like to hear from suitably qualified and experienced professionals with significant practical experience of working within assessment, training, and quality assurance in licence-linked private security industry qualifications.

The Role

The role of our External Quality Assurance Associate is to quality assure our centre’s assessment and internal quality assurance against SFJ Awards requirements, and to ensure our centres continue to comply with the SFJ Awards approved centre requirements. The role is flexible.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
