Level 2 Award for Security Officers in the Private Security Industry (Top Up)

The 2021 Level 2 Award for Security Officers in the Private Security Industry (Top up) is the official SIA approved security qualification that allows you to renew your SIA licence. This enables you to continue working legally as a Security Officer anywhere in the United Kingdom.


Our experts at Crowd Safety Training are on-hand to give you the additional training you need to continue your career in the private security industry.

WHAT ARE THE CHANGES TO TRAINING NEEDED FOR AN SIA LICENCE?

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) has developed the training to ensure Security Officers possess the same basic skills and knowledge as new entrants who have achieved updated qualifications. From October 2021, all Door Supervisors and Security Officers will be required to complete top-up training prior to renewing their licence.

  • Learners must have a first aid qualification before taking the training required for a Door Supervisor or Security Guard licence.
  • Applicants must have one of the new qualifications – or have taken top-up training – before they can apply for a door supervisor and security Officer licence.
