If a learner is looking to upgrade their licence from a Security Guarding to a Door Supervisor, this would not be done by them completing the top up qualification. In order to do this the learner would have to skip the identical units that the SO and DS course share, which is Principles of Working in the Private Security Industry and the Conflict Management units. This would mean they would only have to complete training and assessments for the Principles of working as a Door Supervisor and Physical Intervention units. Please note however they would only be able to do this if they have completed the new SIA qualifications which launched in April 2021. If they hold the older SIA qualifications, they will need to complete the full training for the Door Supervisor qualification.

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined YOU NEED A SIA DOOR SUPERVISOR LICENCE TO DO TOP UP TRAINING.

You will have an option to downgrade your licence upon renewing your licence. You may wish to speak to your employer about this.

Criminal Record Indicator SIA criminal record indicator will ask you questions about you and your criminal record. It will then use your answers to estimate whether you will pass our criminality checks. The result shown by this tool is an estimate, not a guarantee. This is because: · SIA do not check the details you enter - if they are not accurate then the result shown by this tool will be wrong · SIA take account of the time since your sentence restrictions ended – so the indicator could correctly show that SIA would refuse your application today, but by the time you apply our decision might be different · SIA can treat an offence not listed in this tool as relevant if in our view it affects your suitability to hold a licence - you can find out more about this in SIA Get Licensed booklet(https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sia-get-licensed) · SIA take all sexual offences into account regardless of when your sentence restrictions ended · SIA take all terrorism offences into account regardless of when your sentence restrictions ended If you have sexual or terrorism offences on your record, SIA may ask you for further information about these offences. Remember that there are other checks you will need to pass.(https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-sia-licence#get-ready-for-our-application-checks) Start Now(https://www.services.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk/Pages/licensing-cri.aspx) Download a Booklet

3 years Applicants will need to get a recognised qualification by taking a training course and passing the assessments in order to get a front-line licence in the following sectors: • Cash and Valuables in Transit • Close Protection • Door Supervision • Public Space Surveillance (CCTV) • Security Guard • Vehicle Immobilisers (only in Northern Ireland). To meet the criteria needed for a front-line licence: • the Applicant must have full certification (i.e. fully passed the qualification); • the certification must be from one of the listed qualifications; • the qualification must have been offered by an endorsed awarding organisation (like our Awarding Body – Highfield); and the qualification must have been achieved no more than three years before the licence application. Where an individual’s licence has expired, but he or she wants to apply for a new one, then SIA will accept that person’s qualification as long as there has been three years or less between the previous licence expiring and the application being made for the new one. For example: the SIA would accept a qualification for a licence application in January 2022 if that qualification was achieved in January 2017, a licence was granted in February 2017, and the licence expired in February 2020. This is because there is three years or less between the old licence expiring and the new being applied for. There are no qualification requirements for a non-front-line licence. From 1 October 2021 some Licence Holders have needed to take top-up training to renew a licence.
