Become a Certified Security Systems Integrator (CCSSI™)

What Is Security Systems Integration - And Why It’s the Future?

Security Systems Integration is the global gold standard for professionals who go beyond just installing cameras or access control systems. It is the advanced discipline of designing, engineering, and bringing together multiple security technologies into a single cohesive solution — one that meets client needs, complies with safety regulations, and works reliably across various physical and IT environments.

A Security Systems Integrator is not an installer — they are the bridge between design, technology, and safety outcomes.

They understand:

• How fire alarm systems must interact with access control in an emergency.

• How VMS, intrusion detection, and network health monitoring must function together.

• How cybersecurity and physical systems converge in today’s smart buildings.

And that’s what this program teaches you - the complete integration mindset.

Introducing the CCSSI™ Program by City Eye Security Academy:

The City Eye Certified Security Systems Integrator (CCSSI™) is Africa’s first globally-aligned certification program that equips learners with the complete skillset required to lead and deliver security integration projects, whether in homes, commercial buildings, critical infrastructure, or enterprise environments.

This isn’t just another training course. It is a career transformation pathway built for:

• Technicians who want to level up

• Engineers transitioning into security tech

• Business owners and integrators who want to lead with global credibility

• Facility managers and IT/security professionals looking to master convergence

Why the CCSSI™ Program Is Different and Needed:

There are many programs that teach how to install a camera. Very few teach how to design, integrate, and deliver full security systems that are reliable, compliant, and future-ready. What makes the CCSSI™ program stand out is our curriculum depth and industry-first approach.

What You’ll Learn from Our World-Class Curriculum:

Our curriculum was built by seasoned experts in security technology, based on real-world project experience in high-security environments. Here's a glimpse of what you'll be immersed in:

• Security Design Architecture
  Learn how to design systems that comply with global standards and suit real project needs.

• Video Surveillance Systems (CCTV)
  From analog to IP-based systems, VMS, storage planning, and network topologies.

• Access Control & Intrusion Systems
  Understand how to specify, integrate and commission modern access and intruder detection systems.

• Fire Alarm & Emergency Response Integration
  Build systems that protect lives — and comply with life safety codes.

• Networking for Security Professionals
  IP addressing, switching, PoE, and network health essentials specifically for security applications.

• Building Management System (BMS) Integration
  Learn how security systems integrate into broader smart building infrastructure.

• Cybersecurity Fundamentals for Physical Security Professionals
  You’ll no longer be blind to the cyber risks of your own installations.

• Project Delivery, Troubleshooting & Documentation
  The soft and hard skills that get you hired again and again.

• Installation Safety (in Partnership with OSHA UK and WSO)
  Learn critical safety skills like working at heights, first aid readiness, PPE protocols, and more.

The CCSSI™ Experience (6 Weeks of Transformation):

• 6 Weeks

• 4 Days Weekly Instructor-Led Learning

• 1 Day of Assessments to Test Understanding and for Hands-On Group Practical Projects

Each week is focused, immersive, and guided by expert facilitators. It will then climax in the Certification Exam with 1 free resit Attempt.

What Others Will Say About You After This Program:

• “You don’t just install - you design systems like a consultant.”

• “You speak the language of IT, Safety, Security, and Compliance.”

• “You’re the kind of integrator large projects require.”
