This is a four-day course comprising two units. Each unit comprises 16 learning hours including a multiple-choice examination. Students must attend all four days. In order to gain the qualification and be able to apply for a SIA licence, students must pass both examinations.

This nationally recognised qualification is the industry standard and will enable a door supervisor to apply to the Security Industry Authority (SIA) for a SIA licence to work as a Door Supervisor. It is illegal to work in this country as a door supervisor or bouncer without an SIA licence. The fines for working as a Door Supervisor without an SIA licence are severe. You can be fined up to £5,000.00 and receive up to six months in prison. This can also apply to the company you are working for, and the venue at which you are caught working.
