The SIA Door Supervisor licence offers a rewarding career and will enable you to work as an SIA Door Supervisor or SIA Security Guard in the UK.
One of the requirements of the SIA licence is that you hold a recognised qualification, and the BTEC Level 2 National Certificate for SIA door supervisors from EDEXCEL meets the requirement for the SIA Licence. This will involve attending a four day course and passing three multiple choice exams.

On receipt of your exam results, you can send in your application form to the SIA (provided that you have passed the exams). We provide blank application forms on our courses and will always give help and guidance with completing them.

You can track how your application is proceeding by going to the Application Status checker on the SIA Website (www.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk)
