Wonderful experience being trained by…
Asuenimhen Harrison
Nov 06, 2025

"Wonderful experience being trained by Ben McCarty. He knows his job very well. Give us the trainees opportunities to express ourselves, ask questions and respond to them accordingly. But he is sometimes too fast with words that some of us who are not English native speakers sometimes find it a little difficult to follow along. But he’s a great trainer."

Completed the DS Top up course with Get licensed and passed. Adame who trained us was great, very professional and down to earth guy. Even though he’s had various jobs and years of experience in security he just treats you like a equal, no better than anyone attitude which is good. Professional training by trainers who WANT you to pass not a back street company. Will be definitely back again for further training. Thank you.

Not sure where to start?
We'll clear it up!

It depends on your goals. Most people start with door supervisor training due to its versatility, although the security guard and CCTV operator training courses are also recommended. Each leads to a different type of SIA licence.
Yes. All our security training is SIA-approved and delivered by accredited providers at locations across the UK.
A full SIA course is for first-time licence applicants. SIA refresher courses are for those renewing their existing SIA licence.
Absolutely. Many learners take additional qualifications like handcuff training, first aid, or security drone training to boost their skills and job options.
Browse through our course listing to find your desired course, select a date and location, and follow the booking steps online.
SIA security course cost can vary based on the course type, location, and whether you choose any add-ons (like First Aid). For example, the door supervisor training starts from £229.99 while the close protection training starts from £1994.
While full SIA courses can’t be completed entirely online due to the required in-person assessments, blended learning options are available. This means you can complete parts of the theory online, then attend a training centre for practical modules. We also provide online mock exams and study materials to help you prepare at your own pace.
SIA courses qualify you for roles like Door Supervisor (at clubs and events), Security Guard (at offices or sites), CCTV Operator, and Close Protection Officer. Taking extra training, like First Aid or Behavioural Detection, can help you access higher-paying roles.
