Door Supervisor Training

In order to obtain an SIA licence you will need to show that you are trained to the right level. This applies to front line staff only.

To get one of the qualifications linked to Door Supervisor licensing you will need to attend and take four training modules and pass three exams. The duration of the training should be 45 hours.

Training leading to the licence-linked door supervision qualifications must be delivered over a minimum of FOUR days. Awarding organisations offering these qualifications will monitor training providers to ensure that their courses meet this requirement.
