Door Supervisors play an integral role within the security industry. Due to the role that Doors Supervisors play within the industry, they are required to undertake a specific SIA training course that allows them to develop the necessary skills and abilities, which are a pre requisite in obtaining the Door Supervisors SIA license. The Door Supervisors SIA course has been carefully designed and continues to undergo close monitoring to ensure that Door Supervisors are able to undertake their duties with professionalism and diligence. The Home Office has recently identified that the responsibilities involved in being a Door Supervisor require a higher and more rigorous SIA training regime to ensure that they are fully capable for the role that they play within the security industry.
While the present SIA license requirements for Door Supervisors do not require them to undergo any refresher training when renewing their SIA license there are presently plans in place for Door Supervisors to undergo top up training from 2011. It is anticipated by the Security Industry Authority and the Home Office that this top up training will provide Door Supervisors with the distinct advantage of having the skill sets necessary to meet the ever changing challenges facing the security industry. Traditionally, SIA training for Door Supervisors has focussed on the needs of security professionals in a generalised sense, the anticipated training changes will however, provide more specialised training so that Door Supervisors can engender a broader skill set in their everyday duties and be capable of dealing with unexpected risks which arise in the workplace.
With the ever changing security environment which Door Supervisors operate in the anticipated changes in Door Supervisor training are sure to be a welcome relief to Door Supervisors looking at becoming recognised as leaders within the security industry. While the SIA training that Door Supervisors have already undertaken has given them the required Door Supervision skills, by undertaking further specialised training which is specific to their very own unique role, Door Supervisors will be able to undertake their security duties with the confidence in knowing that they are prepared to deal any situation they are confronted with.
The security industry has been undergoing changes for some time now to ensure that security providers are better trained and equipped to provide a professional security service. SIA training and SIA license requirements have evolved to ensure that only competent and accountable security providers are employed within the industry. These changes have led to an increase in public confidence in the role that security providers play in protecting and preserving life and property. The anticipated changes which will require Door Supervisors to undergo further top up SIA training will provide another building block to ensure that security providers gain the recognition that they deserve for the role that they play in society. With the new Door Supervisor training plan set to roll out next year the community is sure to retain their confidence in the professionalism of today’s modern day security industry.
