About Level 2 Door Supervisor TopUp Course:
From small pubs and retailers to large nightclubs, cafés, restaurants, hotels, and sports facilities selling alcohol, there's a potential need for trained door supervisors with an SIA licence.
From October 2021, door supervisors are required to undertake top-up training prior to renewing their licence. The Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors in the Private Security Industry (Top Up) is tailored for those with an existing SIA licence, ensuring they align with the updated qualification criteria.
The Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors (Top-Up) aligns with SIA's qualification standards. It's backed by Skills for Security and regulated by the SIA, the authoritative body for the private security sector.
