There are no training or qualifications required for a key holding licence.

SIA licensing covers manned guarding (including security guarding, door supervision, close protection, cash and valuables in transit, and public space surveillance using CCTV), key holding and vehicle immobilising.

Licensing ensures that private security operatives are ‘fit and proper’ persons who are properly trained and qualified to do their job.

If you undertake such activities you will need the appropriate front line licence and its associated qualification.

We provide Work Interviews for students as a means to gaining full-time employment.

You can apply for security work once you have obtained your SIA lisence: Door supervisors are often paid on an hourly basis, which can range from around £8 to £13 an hour or 17,000 - 27,000 a year depending.
