AVD · NSQF 7 · 1 YEAR

One officer. Two registers.
Safety and security, in one qualification. In one year.

One year. NSQF Level 7. Delivered by IFEM as Industrial Academic Training Partners (IATP) with IUN (International University Nagaland), built for working safety and security professionals whose field experience is ready for a formal qualification that covers both desks.

Not for professionals who want to start over. For professionals who want their field years to count on both the safety register and the security perimeter.

Recognition of Prior Learning.
The door your field years opened for you.

Most safety and security supervisors hit a ceiling they cannot break with experience alone. The shift leaders they worked under retire. New hires with formal degrees move past them. The next role asks for a qualification their CV does not hold.

RPL changes the equation. Recognition of Prior Learning is a government-backed admission pathway under PMKVY (Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana). It recognises field experience as the equivalent of a formal qualification for admission purposes.

If you are an Indian national aged 18 to 45 with real experience in industrial safety, EHS, industrial security, facility security, or a related field, you may qualify for AVDISSM admission without a Bachelor's degree. Over 47 lakh professionals across India have been RPL-certified so far.

The IFEM admissions team, running on IFE's institutional backbone, handles the full RPL process for you: counselling, orientation, assessment, and enrolment. Your years on the job become your entry credential.

Where AVDISSM graduates land.

AVDISSM runs on the RPL ON-RAMP.

RPL ON-RAMP

The programme is written for people who have been doing the work, not people learning it for the first time. Every module assumes field literacy and pushes you into structured practice: audit methodology, legal framing under the Factories Act and PSARA 2005, security incident documentation, access control and loss prevention systems, corrective action loops. Structured delivery means you complete it around your shift pattern, not against it.

Is AVDISSM for you?

This is for you if

  • You are a working safety or security supervisor who needs a formal NSQF 7 credential covering both functions.
  • You manage a facility where the safety register and the security perimeter report to the same desk: townships, plants, logistics parks, commercial complexes.
  • You are an EHS or security executive whose career has plateaued because of a missing qualification.

This is not for you if

  • You are a fresh Class 12 student. Start at VDFSM or BVISM.
  • You want the pure industrial safety track without the security function. Take AVDIS.
