The aim of the SIA (Security Industry Authority) is to increase the skill and professionalism of those employed in the Security Industry and to enhance the public's trust of it. Therefore anyone carrying out Door Supervision or Security Guarding must hold a valid SIA licence. You will need a SIA licence if you wish to work as a Security Officer or a door supervisor and are responsible for security, protection or screening the suitability of persons entering licence premises or dealing with conflict in pubs, clubs and other licence premises open to the public.
To get a SIA licence you must complete a 30 Hour SIA training course. At the end of the SIA licence training you will write two exams for both parts of the SIA training course to achieve this SIA approved qualification. You do not need any previous experience or qualification to enrol for this SIA training course. To book this sia training course please use the link below or above to go to our SIA training course booking form. You can book any of our SIA training courses and pay by card or in person or you can email us an address where we can send you a postal SIA licence course booking form. On completion of this SIA training exam, it takes approximately 2 weeks for your certificate to arrive and then you can apply for SIA licence to the Security Industry Authority (SIA) who will then process your SIA licence application form. In the first instance, they will send you SIA acknowledgement letter indicating that they have received your application form and return your supporting documents with this acknowledgement letter. You can then approach Security firms for work with this SIA acknowledgement letter. You can work with this letter while you await your SIA badge. But not all Security companies will accept SIA acknowledgement letter. The SIA runs an "approved contractors' scheme" and it is only the Security companies who are on this scheme that can consider you for work if you meet their criteria. But once you have received your SIA licence card from the SIA you can legally work anywhere in the Security Industry.
With your SIA licence you can also register with us for temporary, or permanent security work by submitting your profile on our website.
Whether you are already working as a Security Officer or Door Supervisor but are yet to receive SIA training, or you are considering work as a Security Officer or Door Supervisor, you need to be SIA licence as a Door Supervisor or a Security Guard. It is now illegal to work as a Security Officer or Door Supervisor without SIA Security Licence. Please go to either the Door Supervisor Training Courses or Security Guard Training Courses page if you have not received SIA training and need to book a SIA training course.

We are not just SIA training providers, we work with you and for you all the way through your SIA licence training to your working life as a SIA licence Security Officer or SIA licenced Door Supervisor.
