‼️SIA LICENCE HOLDERS‼️

The SIA have announced that first aid and refresher training will be a requirement for your next Door Supervisor / Security Officer licence renewal (from April 2025).

Watch this space for more information 👍

From Tuesday 1 April 2025, door supervisors and security guards must undertake refresher training to renew their licence.

The new refresher qualifications will be available from 1 October 2024 and will update key safety-critical skills door supervisors and security guards use to keep the public safe.

If they hold a door supervisor licence they can choose one of the following options:
• take the door supervisor refresher training and renew their door supervisor licence
• take the security guard refresher training and switch to a security guard licence

In either case, they must have an Emergency First Aid at Work qualification, or equivalent, before they can take the refresher training.

In April 2021 the SIA raised the standards for licence-linked qualifications for Door Supervisors (DS) and Security Guards (SG). Accredited ‘top-up’ awards were introduced for DS and SG in October 2021.

By October 2024, all existing DS and SG licence holders will be qualified to the same standard. The refresher training will ensure that operatives have safety-critical skills that are up to date.

*** ACT E-LEARNING ACCESS UPDATE ***

There is now a new link to access the Action Counters Terrorism (ACT) training - see the post below for more information.

https://www.protectuk.police.uk/catalogue

If you are going to attend an SIA course with us in the coming months, you will need to complete both of the courses available.

For those who have already completed their SIA training requirements, it is also a great free CPD opportunity to update your Counter-Terrorism knowledge.

Security Industry Authority

On Monday 5 February, ACT Awareness and ACT Security will become available in one place on the ProtectUK website.

Designed to be accessed via a desktop device or tablet, ACT Security e-learning is a specialised counter-terror awareness training that gives up-to-date counter-terrorism knowledge to help operatives prepare for terrorist incidents.

To access the ACT Security e-learning from 5 February, you will no longer need to request a pin via email to register. You will be able to register and log in on the ProtectUK website.

The course takes around 1 hour 15 minutes, and its flexible delivery will allow the user to pause and save progress.

When taken with ACT Awareness e-learning, it covers the entire counter-terrorism content for the licence-linked qualifications and top-up training.
