To work as a SIA Door Supervisor or SIA Security Guard in the UK you will need to have an SIA licence issued by the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
One of the requirements of the SIA licence is that you hold a recognised qualification, and the Level 2 National Certificate for Door Supervisors meets the requirement for the SIA Licence.
The SIA Door Supervisor course is run over four days and has 28 hours of tuition and 2 hours of exams. The exams consist of two 40-question multiple choice papers with pass marks of 28 for Unit 1, and 24 for Unit 2.
NOTE: If you work as a Door Supervisor without an SIA licence you are liable to a fine and/or prison time. For more information on SIA licensing or the SIA Door Supervisor course please call us for details.
We run SIA Door Supervisor Courses in Bournemouth, Reading, Brighton, London, Portsmouth, Cambridge, Manchester, Coventry, and Norwich.
Who is it for?
New entrants to the security industry and those who are returning to it having previously worked prior to the introduction of SIA licensing in 2004. WIll need to undertake the SIA training to be able to apply for the SIA licence.
Exemptions may apply if appropriate qualifications from a recognised Awarding Body were obtained less than three years ago. Please call us for full details.
What are the benefits?
The SIA recognised Level 2 National Certificate for Door Supervisors will enable you to apply to the SIA for a Door Supervisor licence, and by obtaining this SIA licence you will increase your employment opportunities.
