Qualification Overview

This qualification has been developed to meet the requirements of the Security Industry Authority (SIA) for Door Supervision. It is based on the relevant SIA Specifications for Learning and Qualifications and provides the learner with the necessary skills and knowledge to apply for an SIA licence and work as a Door Supervisor within the Private Security Industry. This is a six-day course, with each part assessed as outlined below. It is generally very achievable with a couple of hours reading per night. You will be required to take a short level 1 English literacy test on the first day, in order to do this course. If you wish to do this beforehand to be sure you can take the course, please contact us to arrange this.

Entry Guidance

It is required that SIA Door Supervisor Training Course attendees have a minimum Level 1 in literacy or numeracy or equivalent. The Door Supervisor qualification is aimed at learners aged 18 and over due to age restrictions on applying for a licence. Attendance on all six days is compulsory to complete the course and gain this Award.

Leaners will also need to show that they hold a valid First Aid or Emergency First Aid certificate. The training centre must confirm that the learner has this qualification PRIOR to attending the SIA Door Supervisor course. The First Aid certificate must also be in date for at least 12 months.

We will be running First Aid courses on a monthly basis, generally the week before the SIA Door Supervisor course, so if you require the First Aid please ensure to enrol on this course also when booking your SIA course.
