Welcome to Security HR website for SIA licence training in London, one of the largest online security protection websites in the United Kingdom (UK). We are an approved training firm for the SIA training for Security Officers and Door Supervisors based in South London with SIA training taking place at Camberwell, London SE5 (South East London Centre).
The SIA approved courses are of two parts: Part 1 - Role and responsibilities of Door Supervisors or Security Officers (if training to become a Security Officer), and the part 2 - Communication Skills and Conflict Management, culminating in two examinations to prove competency. Then you can apply for SIA licence with your certificates. To clarify, you can either apply to join the SIA Security Guarding course or SIA Door Supervisors' course, both courses of which have Communication Skills and Conflict Management as a second part.
The aim of the Security Industry Authority (the-SIA) is to increase skills level, promote professionalism in the Security Industry and improve public trust in those providing security services. To this end, anyone carrying out Door Supervision or Security Guarding roles 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. If you are responsible for security, or deciding on whether or not persons entering licensed premises have met the conditions of entry - you must hold a valid SIA licence.
Even if you are the licensee (owner) or the Designate Premises Supervisor you must hold a SIA licence (badge) should your job also involve dealing with conflicts in your Pub, Club or any premises (open to the public) requiring local authority licence to operate, especially premises where service of alcohol forms part of the main activities listed on the premises licence.
To get a SIA licence you must complete a 4-day SIA training course. This is knowledge based training in a classroom setting. You will have a Trainer who is suitably qualified in the security field. The trainer will use his experience of working in the security industry to demonstrate the theories behind the jobs of a Security Guard, Door Supervisor or CCTV operator depending on the SIA course in session. At the same time you'll receive all the knowledge required to successfully complete the exams as per your course material.
The trainer will attempt to transmit the contents of your SIA course material verbally, reinforced with practical scenarios to improve understanding and minimise the need for you to read.
At the end of the SIA licence training you will write two exams. The exams will be based on the training materials provided on the first day of the course. You must pass both parts of the SIA training course to achieve the SIA approved qualification.
You do not need any previous experience or qualification to enrol for this SIA training course. All you need are as follows - photo ID (UK Driving Licence or Passport of any nationality), and any proof of address. GO HERE FOR DETAILS OF SIA LICENCE REQUIREMENTS.
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 hold a 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.
The Security Industry Authority is responsible for issuing SIA licence following the completion of approved SIA Door Supervisors training. This is a modular SIA training of which the SIA Courses are structured in 12 different modules; all designed to ensure that the SIA licence holder has the desired knowledge needed to work as a front-line licence holder.
There are different SIA courses; all leading towards the qualification for SIA licence. SIA license cannot be issued unless you can satisfy the Security Industry Authority (the-SIA) that you have completed the required SIA training. This can be "SIA licence Door Supervisor training" or any SIA training on any of the SIA courses. At present we run SIA licence CCTV courses, Security Guarding and SIA licence Door Supervisors training courses.
Each of these SIA courses is a requirement for SIA licence in that sector, for example SIA CCTV training course is aimed towards satisfying the requirements for SIA licence for CCTV operations; SIA Security Guarding course is aimed towards satisfying the requirements for SIA licence for Security Guards and SIA Door Supervisor training is aimed towards satisfying the requirement for SIA licence for Door supervisors. This implies there is SIA licence badge for each security sector and if, for example you have completed SIA training on three (3) SIA courses you are entitled to apply for SIA licence and obtain 3 separate licences in those security sectors.
It may be too expensive for some people to want to do 3 SIA courses at the same time or in a given period and pay for SIA licence in those 3 sectors. The Security Industry Authority - the SIA have made it easier and cheaper for SIA licence applicants to be able to apply for SIA licence in more that one security sector should their role overlap a security sector different from the one for which they hold SIA licence. A holder of SIA licence in one Security sector can apply for SIA licence in another security sector but only pays half the fees for the second SIA licence or any subsequent SIA licence in any other security sector.
For example if you hold SIA license for Door Supervisors, to apply for a SIA licence for Security Guards you only need to pay half the fees of your first SIA license; similarly if you hold SIA licence for CCTV operators you will only need to pay half the fees for SIA door supervisors licence; if you already hold SIA licence for Security Guarding, to apply for SIA licence for a Door Supervisor you only need to pay half the fees of your first SIA licence and vice-versa. Under the Security Industry Act 2001 regulation of the Security Industry is undertaken by the SIA and Security licence illegality issues, including the processing and issuing of SIA licence is carried out by the Security Industry Authority.
It is important to clarify that there is no requirement to hold more than one SIA licence, but it is a good idea if you want to be able to work in more than on security sector. Holding more than one SIA licence only ensures that you do not miss out on opportunities in the security company for which you are working. For example, your employer may specialise in Security Guarding (supply of security officers to non-licensed premises) and might have employed you because you hold a valid SIA licence for Security Guards or Door Supervisors. They later decide to expand to the CCTV sector.
If you hold SIA CCTV licence in your "back pocket" it might be easier to migrate to a new job role or at least you'll have a choice. Whichever security sector's SIA licence you currently hold, with a second SIA licence it only serves to improve opportunities and career progression is feasible if you hold SIA licence in 2 or more "license sectors". There is no evidence to show that a person holding a single sia licence cannot achieve the same career progression. If you hold a SIA licence in one security sector there is also a chance that your employer may arrange for internal SIA training and structure the SIA courses in a way that it not only meets the SIA licence standards but also covers the specific nature of their business. We are good at working with employers to develop training needs for their Security Guards and Door Supervisors. We structure our SIA training courses and delivery to security Guards and Door Supervisors not just for SIA licence but also to make them professionals in their chosen security sector.
SIA License Door Supervisors Course London Centre is fully equipped with resources to ensure that the standard of SIA training meets the aspirations of any Security industry legislations. The quality of our SIA training irrespective of the location of the SIA training centre is of the same standard, and SIA courses elsewhere within our firm are of the same standard delivery to our SIA courses London Centre. Our SIA training London centre meets all ergonomic standards with comfortable chairs and large desks in a well illuminated classroom - SIA Licence Training ergonomics for CCTV training.

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.
