Success Stories

See what our customers say

  • 2 months ago I was working in a warehouse. Today, I am working as a security guard in Harrow earning a lot more than I was sorting boxes! I am glad I chose Get Licensed for my SIA training. The process seemed difficult at first but their team really supported me along the way.

    - Paul Taylor

  • Fantastic course. The instructor was very knowledgeable, and he spoke in a way that everyone could understand. If you didn't understand what he meant, he would find a way to explain it. The instructor made sure you read the helpful handbook. It was quite an intensive course but very comprehensive.

    - Henry Oparaji

  • I was very nervous before the course specially with the exam. But my trainer, Adam, was super friendly and really gave me the confidence I needed. The mock exams on the app and course book helped me passed in the first attempt.

    - Arif Ali

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cost of an SIA licence?

The licence application cost is £190. This is paid directly to the SIA, the licensing authority for the security industry.

How long is the SIA licence valid for?

A newly issued SIA licence is valid for 3 years.

Who needs an SIA licence?

The roles that you can undertake will depend on which SIA licence you have. A holder of an SIA CCTV Licence can watch public images but can’t work as a security guard. In the same way a holder of an SIA Door Supervisor licence can’t work as a CCTV Operative.

How long does it take to get an SIA licence?

It can take 25 working days to process a licence application. In some cases, this can take up to 6 weeks due to additional security checks.

Can I work in the security industry without an SIA licence?

It is illegal to work in the security industry without an SIA Licence. However, some employers can qualify for exemptions under Section 4(4) of the Private Security Industry Act 2001.

What checks are done when applying for an SIA licence?

The SIA will check the course qualification, identify and criminal background during the licence application process.

Can I apply for an SIA licence without passing the course?

You may apply for a non-frontline SIA licence without passing the course. For all frontline roles such as Security Guarding, Door Supervisor, CCTV Operator, Close Protection etc you must pass the course before applying for the licence.

What is the age requirement for SIA Licence?

You must be 18 or over to hold an SIA licence.

How long does the SIA Top-Up Refresher Course take?

The SIA Top-Up Refresher Course takes up to two days for Door Supervisors and one day for Security Officers. During the course, your skills will be assessed through a mix of multiple-choice exams and practical exercises, ensuring you meet all the requirements for SIA licence renewal.

What is the SIA Top-Up Refresher Course?

The SIA Top-Up Refresher Course is the required training to renew your SIA licence. It ensures you stay compliant with the latest standards and is the only training you need to complete for SIA licence renewal.
