Overview
The SIA is changing the qualifications needed for an SIA licence. This follows a review of the licence-linked qualifications.
The top-up training for door supervisors and security guards will include key elements of the new content that the SIA is introducing to licence-linked qualifications in April 2021.
The SIA has developed top-up training to make sure current Door Supervisor and Security Guarding licence holders have the same basic skills and knowledge as new entrants achieving the updated qualifications.
From October 2021, door supervisors and security guards will need to complete top-up training before they renew their licence.
