Different Types of SIA Courses Available in London?
The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is responsible for regulating the private security industry in the UK, and one of their key functions is to ensure that security operatives are properly trained and qualified to perform their roles effectively. To achieve this goal, the SIA has created a range of training courses that cover a variety of security roles and specialisms. In this post, we’ll explore the different types of SIA courses available in London.
Door Supervisor Course
The Door Supervisor course is one of the most popular SIA courses in London. This course covers a range of topics including the role of a door supervisor, search procedures, drug awareness, conflict management, physical intervention, and emergency procedures. Once you have successfully completed the course and obtained your SIA Door Supervisor Licence, you will be qualified to work as a Door Supervisor in a variety of venues such as pubs, clubs, and other licensed premises.
Security Guard Course
The Security Guard course is another popular SIA course in London. This course covers similar topics to the Door Supervisor course, but is focused more on static security roles. This could include security guarding in a shopping centre, office building, or industrial site. Once you have successfully completed the course and obtained your SIA Security Guard Licence, you will be qualified to work in a range of static security roles.
CCTV Operator Course
The CCTV Operator course covers the use of CCTV equipment, including the legal and ethical implications of CCTV surveillance. This course is particularly relevant for those working in roles such as security monitoring or control room operations. Once you have successfully completed the course and obtained your SIA CCTV Operator Licence, you will be qualified to operate CCTV equipment in a range of settings.
Close Protection Course
The Close Protection course is designed for individuals looking to work as bodyguards or personal protection officers. This course covers a range of topics including threat assessment, planning and preparation, surveillance detection, and protective security. Once you have successfully completed the course and obtained your SIA Close Protection Licence, you will be qualified to work in a range of roles such as celebrity protection or corporate security.
Upskilling Course
The Upskilling course is designed for individuals who already hold an SIA licence and are looking to renew it. The course covers relevant legislation updates and new techniques in the security industry. This course is mandatory for all SIA licence holders who wish to renew their licence.
