The new SIA "Refresher" training course is required for Door Supervisors who need to renew their license after 1st October 2022.

This course runs through the week for two consecutive days starting on the 7th of January and finishing on the 8th of January 2025.

This course will equip you with the knowledge and regulations required to continue working as a Door Supervisor, by choosing this course you can maintain your SIA license and enhance your professional capabilities in the private security industry.

Learners must hold a full Level 2 Door Supervisor qualification issued on or after April 1st 2021, or hold an older qualification supported by a 'Top up' qualification to achieve equivalency.

Unfortunately, learners who hold a qualification issued prior to April 1st 2021 and have not completed a 'Top up' qualification are not eligible to complete this 'Refresher' qualification and are required to take the full Level 2 Door Supervisor course again.

The course runs for two days and starts at 8:30 am daily and finishes at 5.30 pm with a thirty-minute lunch break.

Upon completion of the course and after your exams have been marked, you will receive your certificate, which will allow you to renew your SIA licence, renewing your licence is relatively straight with a detailed guide on our blog page should you need some help in applying.
