SIA Course and Licence Questions

Contact Our Team

What can I do with an SIA licence?

An SIA licence, often called an SIA badge, lets you carry out licensable work such as door supervision, security guarding, CCTV surveillance and close protection.

Which SIA course should I take?

Match the course to the job: door supervisor for pubs, clubs and events, security guard for shops, offices and sites, or CCTV for control rooms.

Can I do SIA training with no experience?

Yes. You need English at Functional Skills Level 1, ESOL Level 1 or B2, plus Emergency First Aid at Work for door supervisor or security guard courses.

How long is SIA training?

Door supervisor takes 6 days, security guard 4, and CCTV 3, with self-study done first. Close protection takes 18 days, and refreshers take 1 to 2 days.

Is the SIA top-up course still available?

The door supervisor and security guard top-up courses have been replaced. Since 1 April 2025, you need the SIA refresher qualification to renew either licence.

Do security guards need a CSCS card?

A CSCS card is for construction work, not SIA licensing. If you will guard a building site, check whether your employer needs a CSCS Green Card.

How much does an SIA course cost?

SIA course prices start at £119.99 for refreshers, £179.99 for security guard and £199.99 for door supervisor and CCTV. The £204 SIA licence fee is separate.
