Course Process

Description of the Course

The Security Guard Course is required if you want to obtain the SIA Security Guarding Licence which allows you to work in the private security industry as a Security Officer. Security Officers usually work in a wide variety of roles including static guarding, manned guarding, key holding etc.
NOTE: If you are considering this qualification, we strongly recommend that you take the SIA Door Supervisor course instead,which qualifies you to work both as a professional Door Supervisor and a Security Guard.
It is important to understand that Security Guard licence holders cannot work in licensed premises. We, therefore, continue to advise taking up the SIA Door Supervisor licence course as it is a better investment with wider job prospects.
