Documents required for SIA linked qualifications
As per SIA instructions in order to attend the examination, the candidates are required to ensure that the documentation is complete. It is mandatory to have documents with you and ensure that the documents you have must be as per the list mentioned in Group A or Group B.
This SIA recognised Level 2 Award for Security Guarding will enable you to apply for an SIA Security Guard licence. By obtaining this licence, you will increase your employment opportunities.
The aim of this course is achieve a Level 2 Award in Security Guarding. When you have gained this, you will be eligible to apply for a Security Guard SIA licence. To work as an SIA Door Supervisor or an SIA Security Guard in the UK you must hold a valid SIA licence issued by the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
If you would like to work as a Security Guard in the UK, then this course is for you. When you complete this course, you will be able to apply for Security Guard roles in the Security Industry. It is important to be aware that with this qualification you will not be allowed to work as a Door Supervisor because physical intervention is not taught on this course. This makes Door Supervisor course more valuable and appealing to employers when you are applying for jobs.
A normal Security Guard cannot do all the activities that a Door Supervisor can do. Also, in the future, if you need to work as a door supervisor you would need to spend further on the training as well as the licensing fee to SIA for the door supervisor license. On the contrary, a Door Supervisor besides performing their duties can also perform the duties of a normal Security Guard. The choice is yours but in our opinion, the door supervisor qualification is a much better career prospect. The SIA license price is same for both qualifications.
