Description

In order to obtain an SIA license, you will need to show that you are trained to the right level. This applies to front line staff only.

To get one of the qualifications linked to Door Supervisor licensing, you will need to attend and take four training modules and pass three exams. The duration of the training should be 45 hours.

Training leading to the license-linked door supervision qualifications must be delivered over a minimum of FOUR days. Awarding organisations offering these qualifications will monitor training providers to ensure that their courses meet this requirement.

This course is suitable for lower-risk work environments such as shops or offices and organisations which have less than 100 employees. This is a new qualification and differs from the previous qualification as the assessment regime has changed.

SIA Course Pre-Booking Questions (applicable to most SIA courses)

I booked a place online but have not received any confirmation, what do I do?

If you booked online without any obvious errors, it is likely your email confirmation has become stuck in spam or junk mail filters along the way. To start with, please check your junk mail folders for the email. If you do not find the email, please contact us and we will look into your booking and arrange for another copy of your booking confirmation to be sent.

I want to work in Security but NOT as a doorman, is this the course for me?
Yes, you can work as a security guard if you hold a Door Supervisor license, however you cannot work as a Door Supervisor if you only hold a security guard license. It is somewhat like driving tests.. If you pass your test in an automatic car, you can only ever drive an automatic, where as, if you take your test in a manual car, you can drive both manual and automatic using the same license. This in turn makes the Door Supervisor license and associated course, much more valuable in the real world.
Are your Security related courses approved by the SIA?
Yes, all of the SIA related courses delivered by Skills for Jobs Ltd are approved and recognised by the Security Industry Authority. We are also listed on the SIA website as an approved training provider.
Can you, or do you, apply for my SIA license on my behalf?
No, we DO NOT apply for your SIA license on your behalf, however, we will provide as much guidance and advice as is required to make your application process as easy and smooth as possible. More information about applying for your license can be found on the SIA’s website, see: https://www.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk/Pages/licensing-applying.aspx
If I fail my course, what do I do?
If you do in fact fail your course or any module/exam within it, you will be notified and given the option to retake the failed module at a later date.
Can I use my SIA Licence abroad?
An SIA license is only valid in the UK, you will not be able to use your SIA license for work in any other country.
