Additional Information
| After the CCTV Public Space Surveillance (PSS) Operative course you will have to apply for your licence from the SIA (Security Industry Authority)
The licence application fee is £245 for a three year licence. The fee is to cover the cost of processing your application and is not refundable.
If you pay your own licence fee you will be able to claim tax relief against your taxable income. For example, if you pay the basic rate of tax the relief is worth £53.90. If you are an employer paying the licence fee on behalf of an employee there will be no tax or National Insurance liability.
Some security operatives may need more than one licence; in such cases the second licence will be discounted by 50%. So if you already hold an SIA licence in Vehicle Immobilisation, Security, Door supervision or CVIT the Licence cost will be £122.50.
