Expert Advice
For many learners, the SIA Door Supervisor Licence offers better value than a Security Guard Licence, as it allows you to work in a wider range of roles — including all manned guarding positions.
📌 Important: Security Guard licence holders cannot work in licensed premises that serve alcohol. This is why we often recommend the Door Supervisor course for broader job opportunities.
Course Structure
The course runs over 4 days and includes three mandatory units:
Unit 1: Working in the Private Security Industry
Unit 2: Working as a Security Officer
Unit 3: Conflict Management for the Private Security Industry
Our experienced trainers ensure you are fully prepared for both the exam and real-world security work.
