From small pubs and retailers to large nightclubs, cafés, restaurants, hotels, and sports facilities selling alcohol, there’s a potential need for trained door supervisors with an SIA license.

​From October 2021, door supervisors are required to undertake top-up training prior to renewing their license. The Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors in the Private Security Industry (Top Up) is tailored for those with an existing SIA license, ensuring they align with the updated qualification criteria.

​The Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors (Top-Up) aligns with SIA’s qualification standards. It’s backed by Skills for Security and regulated by the SIA, the authoritative body for the private security sector.​

​Applying For a SIA License: Having a criminal record doesn’t always stop you from getting an SIA (Security Industry Authority) license. They look at each case individually, considering the type and seriousness of the offense, how long ago it happened, and whether you’ve shown any evidence of rehabilitation. You can use the SIA criminal record indicator to see whether you will pass the criminality checks.
