SIA Security Training

It is essential that individuals working in the private security industry undergo a structured training programme that results in a recognised qualification.

As part of the SIA licensing function, individuals applying for a front line SIA licence must prove that they are properly qualified to do their job. If they don’t hold one of the SIA-endorsed qualifications then their licence application will be refused.

We believe that this will result in a more competent and professional workforce. It will also improve the public image of the private security industry and make it more attractive to potential employees.
