SIGN UP FOR THE TRAINING YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD HAVE!

COURSE OVERVIEW

YOU NEED A SIA DOOR SUPERVISOR LICENCE TO DO TOP UP TRAINING. From 1st April 2021 learners wishing to start their SIA Door Supervisor Course should successfully complete their First Aid at Work training before they start their Door Supervisor course. The certificate must be valid for at least 12 months from the course start date. OUR PRICES INCLUDE BOTH QUALIFICATIONS / BOOK NOW

Please note:
Door Supervisor Licence holders can perform both Door supervisor and Security officers' duties, but Security Officer Licence holders aren't allowed to perform Door Supervisors' duties. Get your Door Supervisor training here. Book Now!

From today (1 October 2021) all Door Supervision and Security Guard licence holders will need a first aid qualification and the new top-up training before they renew their licence. The top-up training requirements will only affect existing Door Supervision and Security Guard licence holders when they come to renew their licence. This means that these changes will roll out over the course of the next three years.

The Highfield Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors in the Private Security Industry (Top Up) is awarded by Highfield Qualifications and sits on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). The RQF is a Qualification Framework regulated by Ofqual and CCEA Regulation. Learners should present their First Aid or Emergency First Aid certificate* to their training provider before they start training. This certificate* must be valid for at least 12 months from the course start date.
