SIA Security Officer with SIA Door Supervision

Most people entering the Private Security Industry get their Door Supervision Training and License which qualifies them for Security Guarding as well – even though they have not had the 10 hours of Working as a Security Officer Training.

However you will also receive the 10 hours Working as a Security Officer training that is normally ignored by the Door Supervision course.

If need to renew your SIA Door Supervisor Badge, see Upskilling Door Supervisors Course.
