06 Questions answered

Before you scope sia door supervisor course.

These are general operational answers. The assessment establishes the exact legal, licensing, safety and delivery requirements.

01Does completing the course give me an SIA licence?

No. Successful training provides the relevant qualification. You must separately apply to the Security Industry Authority and meet its identity, criminality and other licensing requirements.

02Is first aid required?

The SIA sets first-aid requirements for licence-linked training. Your existing certificate must meet the current rules or suitable first-aid training must be completed before the relevant course stage.

03Is there a practical assessment?

Yes. Door-supervision training includes practical elements as well as knowledge assessment. Learners should expect active participation and must meet the awarding organisation’s requirements.
