Massachusetts

Any person, firm, or corporation who engages in, advertises, or holds himself or itself out as being engaged in the business of installing, repairing, or offering maintenance for security systems, must be licensed by the Department.

Types of licenses in the state of Massachusetts:

• S-License (required by law to perform security work in Massachusetts). Must have a valid electrician’s license, of any class to be eligible to receive an S-license. 
• Systems Contractor License
• Systems Technician License
• Certificate of Clearance (for employees of an S-license holder)

Installers in Massachusetts are required to pass a background check.

To be licensed as a systems technician, you must pass the exam and have 300 hours of classroom training and 4,000 hours of experience before you can take the exam. The systems technician may work as an individual, supervising no more than one apprentice.

A systems technician with at least one year of experience and 75 hours of classroom instruction may pass the systems contractor exam. A systems contractor may work as a qualified agent, supervising systems technicians and apprentices.
