To become a door supervisor, you need an SIA Door Supervisor licence. You will need to take a Door Supervisor training course to apply for the licence. It is also mandatory to have a first aid qualification before you start your training course.
The SIA Door Supervisor training is a comprehensive 6-day course that covers all aspects of professional door supervision. Before starting the course, you must have a valid First Aid qualification (Emergency First Aid at Work certificate or higher). Upon successful completion, you'll be eligible to apply for your SIA Door Supervisor licence.
The course fee does not include the licence fee. The licence application fee of £184 is payable directly to the SIA when applying for the licence, which is valid for three years.
The SIA licence is only valid in the UK. You will not be able to use the SIA licence for work in any other country.
