Renew Your SIA Licence with Our Door Supervisor Top-Up Course
Stay compliant, stay professional, and stay ahead in your security career. The BIIAB Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors in the Private Security Industry (Top-Up) from HR Training Hub is the mandatory qualification required for all existing Door Supervisors looking to renew their SIA licence.
As of October 2021, the Security Industry Authority (SIA) has updated the requirements for licence renewal. To ensure that all professionals hold the most current skills, this top-up course, including essential first aid training, is now a legal necessity. The security landscape is always evolving, and this qualification ensures your skills remain relevant and effective in protecting the public and managing licensed premises.
Based in Dagenham, East London, HR Training Hub provides a streamlined, expert-led course designed to get you updated and back on the job with minimal disruption. We value your experience and focus on delivering the new knowledge you need in an efficient and professional manner.
What Has Changed? Why Do I Need a Top-Up Course?
The SIA has identified new risks and skills gaps within the industry. This top-up course is designed to bridge those gaps and enhance your existing capabilities. The curriculum is focused on the key changes and additions to the required skillset.
Here’s what you will cover:
- Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW): This is a critical new requirement. All Door Supervisors must now hold a valid EFAW qualification or equivalent. Our top-up course includes this certification, training you to act as a first responder in an emergency, covering everything from CPR and using a defibrillator to managing bleeds and treating shock.
- Updated Conflict Management: This module builds on your existing knowledge, introducing advanced communication techniques and strategies for de-escalating modern-day conflicts. It covers risk reduction and managing challenging behaviours in a post-pandemic world.
- Counter-Terrorism Awareness: You will be trained on how to identify and respond to terrorist threats and security risks. This includes understanding the role of a Door Supervisor during a major incident and following the principles of ‘Action Counters Terrorism’ (ACT).
- Updated Physical Intervention: This practical session refreshes your skills and brings them in line with the latest safety guidance, ensuring you can protect yourself and others using approved, non-pain compliant techniques.
Who Needs to Take This Renewal Course?
This course is mandatory for any Door Supervisor whose licence is due for renewal. You cannot renew your SIA licence without completing this top-up qualification first.
This course is for:
- Experienced Door Supervisors: Professionals who have been working in the industry and need to meet the new SIA renewal requirements.
- Security Professionals with Lapsed Licences: If your Door Supervisor licence has expired, you will need to complete this course before you can re-apply.
To be eligible for this course, you must have held a Door Supervisor licence previously. You must also hold or obtain a valid Emergency First Aid at Work qualification. HR Training Hub conveniently bundles the EFAW training into our Top-Up course package for a seamless process.
