SIA Top up Training 0151 521 3232

It is essential that individuals working in the private security industry undergo a structured training programme that results in a recognised qualification.

We have developed a competency (skills) requirement as part of our licensing function. Individuals applying for a front line SIA licence must prove that they are properly qualified to do their job. If they don’t hold one of the SIA-endorsed qualifications then their licence application will be refused.

We believe that this will result in a more competent and professional workforce. It will also improve the public image of the private security industry and make it more attractive to potential employees.

The SIA have announced that from the 5th February 2013 that anybody who has completed their original SIA Door Supervision Course before Octover 2010, will need to complete an SIA Top up Training course to renew their SIA badge.
