SIA DOOR SUPERVISOR COURSE WITH FIRST AID

SIA Door Supervisor Training – Level 2 Award
The Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors in the Private Security Industry is a required qualification for anyone who wants to work as a Door Supervisor in the UK. Under the Private Security Industry Act 2001, individuals working in specific roles within the private security sector must be licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). One of the key requirements for obtaining an SIA licence is completing a licence-linked qualification such as this course. A Door Supervisor licence is necessary when carrying out manned guarding activities on licensed premises, except in roles involving only CCTV operation, cash and valuables in transit, or close protection. Licensed premises include any location open to the public where alcohol is served or regulated entertainment is provided.

How Will This Course Benefit You?
At Securex Premium Services, we offer the full Level 2 Award in Door Supervision, which covers all the necessary competences outlined by the SIA. By completing this training, you will be eligible to apply for your Door Supervisor licence. In addition, you will gain a thorough understanding of safe working practices, UK security law, and essential skills needed to succeed in the security industry. Training is delivered by experienced professionals and approved instructors, ensuring high-quality learning and preparation.

Course Requirements
To enrol in this course, students must meet the following conditions:
You must have English language skills at a minimum of Level 1 in reading, writing, and speaking.
You must provide one form of photo ID such as a passport or driving licence.
You must also provide two proofs of address, such as a recent bank statement, utility bill, or council tax letter.

Emergency First Aid at Work Requirement
All learners must hold a valid Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) certificate. This certificate must be valid for at least 12 months from the course start date.
