Historically the most popular SIA licence held is the Door Supervisor. This is because as well as being able to work in pubs and clubs, it also allows you to undertake all of the activities covered by an SIA Security licence. Additionally it covers working in Event Security (e.g. at the large music festivals that run throughout the summer months).

This means that one SIA licence enables you to work in three sectors of the industry, so maximising your job opportunities.

To obtain the SIA Door Supervisor or Security licence you will need to pass a qualification such as the Level 2 Award in Door Supervision.

This will involve attending a four day course and passing three exams. You will also need to provide suitable identification and pass a criminality check.

There are significant overlaps with Security Guarding so you will be well prepared should you choose to work in that sector.

We run courses from a wide number of locations throughout the UK with costs being very competitive.

The course is separated into four Modules:

Module 1: Working in the Private Security Industry

* The Private Security Industry * Relevant Legislation * Health and safety in the workplace * The principles of fire safety * Non-fire-related workplace emergencies * The principles of effective communication and customer care in the private security industry

Module 2: Conflict Management for the Private Security Industry

* The principles of conflict management * All you need to know about risk * Communication and the de-escalation of conflict * Problem solving strategies * After the conflict is over

Module 3: Working as a Door Supervisor

* Door supervisors and the law * Access control and searching * Arrest * Drugs * Incident recording and crime scene preservation * Licensing law and social responsibility * Safety and security

Module 4: Physical Intervention

* Health and safety * The legal implications on use of force * Medical implications in use of force * Post incident reporting * Recording incidents * Disengagement * Escorting * Holding.

 

The Level 2 Award in Door Supervision is assessed by three straightforward multiple choice exams.

The vast majority of our candidates pass at their first attempt, but there is no limit to the number of times you can resit the exams. Our trainers have trained over 7000 candidates in this qualification and have a 96% pass rate. Innpacked have also won the Door Trainer of the year Award
