News story

We are updating the qualifications needed for an SIA licence.

New qualifications for licence applicants

From 1 April 2021, we will:

  • introduce new licence-linked qualifications
  • require door supervisors and security guards to get the Emergency First Aid at Work qualification before they take their licence-linked training

Top-up training for door supervisors and security guards

From October 2021, door supervisors and security guards will need to complete top-up training before they renew their licence.

We have developed this top-up training to make sure current Door Supervisor and Security Guard licence holders have the same basic skills and knowledge. The top-up training will also bridge the gap between the existing and new qualifications, as it will include elements of the new content that we are introducing.
