Resources & Guides
General guidance — for prospective officers and for anyone comparing security providers.
What To Expect: Applying To Join Our Armed Response Team
This is general guidance on the kind of paperwork most reputable armed-response employers in South Africa will ask for — not a guarantee of employment, and not a substitute for the specific requirements we confirm with you once you apply.
- Certified copy of your ID
- Proof of residential address
- PSIRA registration certificate (grade)
- Firearm competency certificate
- Medical / fitness certificate
This list is a general industry guide, not a confirmed Nyandeni Holdings policy document — the recruitment team will confirm exactly what's needed for the specific role you apply for.
What To Expect: Applying For A Guarding Role
Guarding roles generally ask for less than an armed-response role (no firearm competency requirement), but the basics below are near-universal across the industry.
- Certified copy of your ID
- Proof of residential address
- PSIRA registration certificate (grade)
- Medical certificate (if required for the specific site)
Again, general guidance rather than a confirmed policy document — the specific site you're deployed to may add its own site-access requirements.
Questions Worth Asking Any Security Provider
Whether you talk to us or a competitor, these are the questions a well-run South African security company should be able to answer clearly and specifically — not with a brochure line.
