Level 2 Award for Security Officers in the Private Security Industry

Our experts at Crowd Safety Training are on-hand to give you the additional training you need to start 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 new Security Officers possess the knowledge skills and understanding, to enable them demonstrate competence in Security Guarding.

From October 2021 the new requirements are:

  • New, updated qualifications for all sectors apart from close protection and vehicle immobilisation
  • Learners must have a first aid qualification before taking the training required for a Security Officers licence.
  • EFAW needs to be completed and passed before you sit the Security Officers course
