06 Questions answered
Before you scope sia security guarding course.
These are general operational answers. The assessment establishes the exact legal, licensing, safety and delivery requirements.
01What jobs can a Security Guard licence cover?+
It can support many guarding roles, but not every licensable activity. Door supervision and public space surveillance, for example, have their own licence requirements.
02How is the course assessed?+
Assessment follows the current awarding-organisation specification and normally includes knowledge tests plus any required practical or workbook activity.
03Can Ayro guarantee me a job?+
No responsible provider should guarantee employment. Training can prepare you for the licence route and the role, while recruitment still depends on licensing, right to work, screening, availability and employer requirements.
