Course Description

Looking to start a career in security? Our Level 2 SIA Door Supervisor Training is a comprehensive six-day course designed to equip you with the skills and qualifications needed to work in the UK’s private security industry. Upon successful completion, you can apply for your SIA Door Supervisor Licence, which allows you to work in bars, nightclubs, retail stores, corporate buildings, concerts, festivals, and other security environments. Why Take the Door Supervisor Course? A Door Supervisor Licence is one of the most versatile and in-demand security qualifications. Unlike a Security Guard Licence, which restricts you to non-licensed premises, a Door Supervisor Licence allows you to work in both licensed and non-licensed venues, opening up a wider range of job opportunities.  

Who is this course for?

  • Anyone looking to work as a security guard or door supervisor
  • Individuals seeking a career change into the security sector
  • People wanting to work in hospitality, retail, corporate, or event security
