New SIA applicants, from 1 April 2021

The SIA will introduce new licence-linked qualifications and it will require door supervisors and security guards to obtain the Emergency First Aid at Work qualification before they take their licence-linked training.

The new top-up training rules for those renewing their licence will come into operation from October 2021, when door supervisors and security guards will need to complete top-up training before they renew their licence.

The SIA explains that this top-up training has been developed to make sure current Door Supervisor and Security Guard licence holders have the same basic skills and knowledge.

Further new training standards will also be introduced for CCTV and the Close protection operations in 2022.

The top-up training will also bridge the gap between the existing and new qualifications, as it will include elements of the new content that is being introduced.
