And each course will equip you with the skills to serve as a security&nbsp;officer. Additionally, if you take the slightly longer door supervisor course, you\u2018ll be able to work in places where alcohol is served.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The security&nbsp;officer course takes just four days, and the door supervisor course takes six days. So in around a week, you will have completed your training. Of course, there is much more to learn, and you won\u2019t know everything in just a few short days. But you will have learned the skills necessary to gain your licence and get your first job, where more experienced security&nbsp;officers will help you learn and progress in your role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We pack a lot of learning into each day so that the overall length of the course is shorter in days. So you will usually have to attend from 8 am to 6:30 pm for the door supervisor training and from 8 am to 6 pm for the security&nbsp;officer course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the great news is that we have over 85 locations where you can take the door supervisor course. If you are in the capital, there are over 35 courses in London alone. There are also courses in Scotland, Wales and all over England. Wherever you are, you\u2019ll be able to find a local course, even if you are relying on public transport. So, there\u2019s no need to worry about picking up a hefty hotel bill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What to Expect On The SIA Security Guard Training Course 2024 | Security Officer Training\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0XxKwnZQR-U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A four-day security&nbsp;officer course costs from \u00a3179.99, and the six-day course starts at \u00a3209.99.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SIA Security&nbsp;Officer Course runs over four days and is divided into three units; you\u2019ll learn about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.357), 17px);\"><li>Unit 1: Working in The Private Security Industry<\/li><li>Unit 2: Working as a Security Officer<\/li><li>Unit 3: Conflict Management for The Private Security Industry<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas the six-day door supervisor course is divided into four units:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.357), 17px);\"><li>Unit 1: Working in the Private Security Industry<\/li><li>Unit 2: Working as a Door Supervisor<\/li><li>Unit 3: Conflict Management for The Private Security Industry<\/li><li>Unit 4: Physical Intervention Skills for The Private Security Industry<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.get-licensed.co.uk\/right-track-assessment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.get-licensed.co.uk\/get-daily\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-1024x284.png\" alt=\"Blog\" class=\"wp-image-36113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.get-licensed.co.uk\/get-daily\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-1024x284.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.get-licensed.co.uk\/get-daily\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-300x83.png 300w, https:\/\/www.get-licensed.co.uk\/get-daily\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-768x213.png 768w, https:\/\/www.get-licensed.co.uk\/get-daily\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The courses have a 90% first-time pass rate and free retakes with gold and platinum packages.
