What is the aim of the Close Protection Course?
To work as a SIA Close Protection Operative (CPO) or Bodyguard (BG) in the UK you will need to have an SIA licence issued by the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
One of the requirements of the SIA licence is that you hold a recognised qualification, and the BTEC Level 3 Close Protection Operative from EDEXCEL meets the requirement for the SIA Licence.
The SIA Close Protection course is run over fourteen days and has 150 hours of tuition and 1.5 hours of exams. The exams consist of one multiple-choice paper.
A Close Protection licence is required when guarding one or more individuals against assault or against injuries that might be suffered in consequence of the unlawful conduct of others. This applies if your services are supplied for the purposes of or in connection with any contract to a consumer.
NOTE: If you work as a Close Protection Operative, SIA door supervisor or Security Officer without an SIA licence you are liable up to a fine of £5000 and/or up to 6 months in prison. For more information on SIA licensing or the SIA SIA door supervisors course please call us for details.

Cost of a Licence
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 Door supervision or Security the the Licence cost will be £122.50.
