SIA Security Officer Level 2

You can work as a SIA Security Officer on a SIA SIA door supervisors licence, look at it a bit like driving licences if you get an automatic licence then you can only drive automatics, if you get manual driving licence then you can drive both manual and automatic. The SIA door supervisors licence is the manual licence and costs the same as the security officers licence both £245 valid for three years.

Please see SIA SIA door supervisor training for SIA security training.

It is now compulsory in many sectors to have an SIA (security industry authority) licence to work in the security industry.

This is to give you an indication of how many people are getting licences so that you can choose the right training and sectors for you.

We believe that they are two sectors worth joining at the moment and they are Door supervision and Vehicle immobilisation. This is why we dedicate are training to these sectors. We will only train people in areas where we believe that you will make the most of the training, whether it’s a better job or better pay.

The SIA approved courses are of two parts: Part 1 - Role and responsibilities of SIA door supervisors, Security Officers or vehicle immobilisers, and the part 2 - Communication Skills and Conflict Management, culminating in two examinations to prove competency.
 Then you can apply for SIA licence with your certificates. To clarify, you can either apply to join the SIA Security Guarding course or SIA SIA door supervisors' course, both courses of which have Communication Skills and Conflict Management as a second part.

The aim of the SIA (Security Industry Authority) is to increase the skill and professionalism of those employed in the Security Industry and to enhance the public's trust of it. Therefore anyone carrying out duties as a Door Supervision, Security Guarding or vehicle immobilising must hold a valid SIA licence.

On completion of this SIA training exam, it takes approximately 2 weeks for your certificate to arrive and then you can apply for SIA licence to the Security Industry Authority (SIA)costing £245 per licence who will then process your SIA licence application form. In the first instance, they will send you SIA acknowledgement letter indicating that they have received your application form and return your supporting documents with this acknowledgement letter. You can then approach Security firms for work with this SIA acknowledgement letter. You can work with this letter while you await your SIA badge. But not all Security companies will accept SIA acknowledgement letter. The SIA runs an "approved contractors' scheme" and it is only the Security companies who are on this scheme that can consider you for work if you meet their criteria. But once you have received your SIA licence card from the SIA you can legally work anywhere in the Security Industry.
