Trustpilot
The package is designed for success
“The package is designed for success. In my door supervisor course and CCTV Operator course, I met an amazing set of instructors who use field and class experiences to build your courage and bring you excellent performance”
Abrar Ahmed
Highly recommended
“Highly recommended. I did the DS and CCTV courses within two weeks of each other. Both the tutors were engaging and very experienced and knowledgeable in their field. Despite both courses being relatively short, I feel they pack in a lot of material. There are also lots of practical activities that help prepare you for front line security work. Once again, I high recommend training with Get Licensed!”

Quality driven.
“Ben Mccarthy is an efficient, quality driven, and hardworking lead trainer for the door supervision course. He made the topics easy to understand and digest. I appreciate his patience and attention to detail when teaching the course.”
I have been working in security for 30…
“I have been working in security for 30 years starting with 10 years as a full time door supervisor and then 20 years in house NHS security officer in a busy city centre hospital with a war zone called A&E Since leaving I needed to get my SIA . This course is really good and it’s far from an attend course you need to apply yourself and it will give you the grounding to be a first class operative to start a career and progress in security. Great trainer in Dave Watts a first class instructor and man. This course is first class and Get Licensed make booking, learning a great experience”
Sirtaj Rehman
A Great Experience & Course
“Had a great experience with my Door Supervisors course. Excellent communication from start to finish. The instructor Simon Willoughby was awesome too. Very knowledgeable, engaging, and humorous. He got us through the very long days and made them feel not so long. A great guy and a great course”
Get Licensed is the best
“Get Licensed is indeed, the best place to take your security training. I just completed my Door Supervisor Training with them and was trained by Rob Worthington. Rob is the best trainer I have ever seen. You know why, its because he really trains from experience. He treated everyone fairly and makes the training very interesting, practical and experiential. I sincerely entreat everyone that seeks to take any security training course to do that with Get Licensed. You would enjoy it and learn a lot.”

“I enjoyed my course so well and my supervisor was a great teacher and person. He teaches so well his explanation is so clear. Am shouting out to Simon Albutt.”
Clear and Concise
“The trainer Amy was really patient, helpful and informative. All lessons were delivered with clarity along with a very professional attitude. Sering was also excellent. He conveyed information in a friendly helpful manner and made the class feel at ease. Good staff are hard to find and both are assets to the Industry.”
Have a question? We have answers
No, the PTS Card is not available to the public. The PTS Card is a qualification that you get through the Network Rail as an employee of a rail engineering company with an allocated sponsor.
To make rail workers aware of their surroundings at all times on the railway, so they stay safe and are able to correctly interpret the relevant dangers of the track.
At first, you will have a probationary period of about six months, and you will wear a blue hard hat to show you are inexperienced. This which will show up when your Sentinel card is scanned. When you are judged to have enough experience, usually by your supervisor, you will be allowed to wear a white hard hat.
The principal hazards include collisions between a rail vehicle and a track worker, electrocution from traction power sources and trips and falls. PTS ensures that rail workers are aware of their surroundings so that they do not enter situations where the aforementioned accidents are likely to occur, are able to move around the lineside safely and are able to react appropriately to circumstances (e.g. the approach of a train).
A position of safety is at least 1.25metres (four feet) from the running line for trains going up to 100 miles per hour and at least 2 meters (six feet six inches) from the running line for trains going between 101 and 125 miles per hour. An authorised walking route provides safe access to or from a place of work.
A PTS Certificate is required before anybody is allowed to work within the boundary of Network Rail tracks in the UK (on or near the line). It is also a requirement in the Republic of Ireland. Any potential employee must undergo a medical and a drug and alcohol test before attending a "personal track safety" course.
Basic medical assessment for national rail PTS includes: A medical questionnaire, audiometry (hearing test), vision testing, blood pressure estimation, physical examination and urine testing.
The object of the medical and drug alcohol screening assessment is to ensure that employers meet their duty of care so that individuals working in this potentially dangerous environment are not subject to increased risk of harm to themselves or their colleagues, or in some cases members of the public, due to any foreseeable underlying medical condition.
