@@ilike3v3rything83 Hey i did my SIA level 2 qualification very recently and past with great results i was bricking it as well if you pay full attention do plenty of homework/revision you will pass no problem the role play is short and easy very laid back just listen to the instructors. The exams are multi choice they have a mix of serious questions and some silly questions i suggest downloading the guardpass app on any device you got and practice everyday so just take notes get plenty of sleep each night you will realise how easy things are once they are shown and carefully explained by the experts in the industry so good luck!
This is so cool! I'll be doing my SIA course soon & your vid has actually helped me alot in terms of what is to be expected throughout the week of the course
@@getlicensed hi good evening I am going to book door supervisor course end of this month I just want to know do I need to do anything like for e learning prepare or not
Super useful and insightful video, I'm on day 4 of the door supervisor course and it's been a great experience so far. Even though the parameters have changed since this video was released, it's been very accurate to my experience and I would highly recommend anyone in 2022 thinking of doing the course to absolutely for it 👍
@@Remy-eu8fm I think it would be worth checking. Most jobs will specifiy which licence they require you have, or might possibly give you specialist training themselves if it's something like a bank. The door supervisor badge does cover most jobs in the security industry but it would be worth checking if you are looking at a specific employer
The SIA is a joke.... been in security 20 years and this is probs my final year in security as i refuse to pay the rip off fees of £600 to get a licence to work in an industry that is pretty much common sense. You are expected to work all the time, holidays, christmas, easter whatever you are expected to work... also people stacking shelves in asda are on more money than security. I would not dare encourage anyone to become a security officer.... also security leads to depression due to long hours and being alone on night shift 4-5 nights a week
door work £15 an hour ( thats outside london) 5 to 7 hours per shift ..easy money if you ask me but thats if your ok in that environment ..i guess for some it may be alien and not their thing ... iv not even looked into other security work but im glad i got my badge though but then again iv not been in it 20 years mate so i do get where ya comming from .
You say it's common sense.. I was shocked at how little I remembered about fire safety.. the extinguishers etc.. my mind went blank.. some struggle with other areas even though they've passed and got their licence..when it came to renew they forgot most of what they'd learned first time or didn't know any of the new stuff
Depending on the field, you earn money sitting behind a desk all day/night and listening to music, drawing, etc. Seems better than breaking your ass doing manual labor, constantly being reminded of targets just to get 1 or 2 pounds more.
Congrats on your pass. Are the documents regarding your proof of address required at the course start or on the exam day? I have a handful of address documents as well as my passport, but currently waiting for my bank statements to come in the post but my course starts in 2 days (saturday as I write this, course starting Monday)
@@getlicensed Thank you, I finished my course today - I passed! My trainers were Paul and Mike in Cardiff and they were great. Can't recommend the course enough, I had such a great time. I did pay for the Gold package so I had my results early, for people reading on Bronze package...they had their exam results back immediately too! At the venue we used (Mercure) I was able to print off bank statements from my phone at the front desk, which were needed as one of my documents was invalid.
It's a 5 day course now with an exam tagged on the end.Well it was for me. It's a long process, and hard to listen to somebody talking so much or all the time.Personally haven't studied since 2014, albeit I have taught TEFL for 5 years. My course was 8am-5pm, Monday-Friday and a test on Saturday. Criticisms: I would say are: too much talking at you, instead of asking students questions, a day off or half day in the week is needed for a break and to reflect on learning, and there's too many videos to watch in your down time. CPR is useful, and 'roleplay' such as customers refusing to leave the premises, are fun. But there are problems for sure. If you are into martial arts or self defense, you'll enjoy the practical interventions. What was annoying and embarrassing was recording your tests in front of teacher, while other students were watching- not good, and it should be private. The course book is okay, and you fill in a study log.I thought my tutor spoke too quick sometimes, as there were non native English speakers in class. So, something are cool, lots are not so good. Your experience may be different.of course.
Best of luck! If you need any help or advice during your course make sure to follow us on Instagram. We have daily lives where we go through the exams as well as lots of giveaways!
Im thinking about doing this course but i am a very nervous and shy person i dont like going in front of the class which really puts me down because I really need to do this course to get a sia badge and work as a door supervisor
Hi, the instructors are really friendly and everyone in the class is in the same boat! Everyone there is there for the same reason and really help each other get through the course! I wouldn't let that put you off!
@@yadannowhattimeisit5169 There are lots of job opportunities, especially with the Door Supervisor licence as you can also work in Security Guard roles. If you download our GuardPass app, you can create a profile there, where we will be adding a find a job feature soon!
mine just took best part of 6 weeks to get the letter saying its granted ..i was worried about the dbs check but all was good .. did my first shift i had to use letter and photo id for the shift as iv not recieved the card licence yet .. that shoukd be within 14 working days 👌
I agree with the licencing but not the costs. The badge should be part of the course so when you pass they'll send you your certificates and badge. I have passed twice but both times i was unable to get the actual badge due to the company not paying for it or being unemployed and not being able to afford the refresher part. Im currently in the last part of my 3rd SIA course and thankfully this time i have the money to get the badge if i pass fingers crossed, It should also last longer than 3 years or at least be free to get the refresh or not a legal requirement if you have been working in the industry for more than x amount of years. Personally i have over 12 years experience in the industry on an off but each time i go for the badge it seems to get a little harder to afford or access. Hopefully it'll all be reviewed in time to help those who have been in the industry stay within it while encouraging new people to come in too. Anyway, good luck to all those taking the course, it really is a good course and informative.
Hi i am a student right now but i do want to find a job in security area while i am studying and it seems like door supervisor is the best with the most opportunities am i correct also is this the beat company to get a license or is there a better company to get the sia licence
@@Remy-eu8fm Door supervisor is the best licence to get in terms of finding more opportunities and more flexible hours, you can work part time just on weekends or go fulltime. There's so many course providers so it's hard to narrow it down but your best option is to search sia courses in your area, aslong as they're sia approved you'll be fine

I’m not very strong and have only just recently started putting some muscle on, should I train a bit more before getting the license or would I be fine? Every where I look, they say there is no minimum fitness requirement but I’m not sure whether I am fit enough to complete the course and work safely. Please advise, how would I be able to tell I’m fit enough to work?
Hi Kainaat, being a door supervisor is a lot more than just being big and strong. There are lots of techniques you will learn on the course to help you do your job affectively. So do not let this put you off, there are no requirements at all. Best of luck!
I already paid to get the SIA badge on 1st of June.. I'm still waiting so I would like to ask how long is it going to take to receive the badge and when I have to collect it?
I don't know what is going wrong I have failed for the second time.with this laser marker 2 out of 4. I have studied my pass book, and pass on the app 💯 percent. so many times,even I have met about 5 other people complaining about same issues is anyone know what's going on????
i just passed my 3 papers i fail in physical intervention exam how can i check how much i get in physical intervention how can i fail last exam even i done so well ???
I applied for the license in March 2024 I did everything in the right way and still I am waiting for a respond from the SIA 😂 I start panicking, my application might be unsuccessful.
@ScarrDawg, First Aid training is not included, but you can book it with your security guard training course on our website. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Hey Andrei, you will need to bring with you a Group A document and 2 Group B documents like on the course. You also need to bring your SIA application number.
@@getlicensed for a one group a document will a driving license be sufficient and also for group b documents like for example bank statement and one utility bill be sufficient for that group b document
Hi Gagandeep, I'm great thanks! The SIA will get back to you within 25 working days. In rare cases, this can take up to 6 weeks. Good luck with your application!
I’m about to apply for SIA license after passing my DS but I’m having trouble getting the documents required for my proof of address as an international student in Scotland. I would like to know if I can use statements from 2 online banks.
I'm renewing my license. I've completed the course and passed. I've watched your video on how to make an application but I want to ask about my address. This is 3years+ of my living in the UK. Do I necessarily have to get police clearance from Nigeria where I lived before coming to the UK. Recall that I did same during my first application
Hi I’m having trouble when I’m entering my drivers licence for the licence application. It’s saying there is an error despite my 16 numbers being correct. Sia have said to use the edge browser and also try entering the first 13 numbers only. It didn’t work. The page says the numbers I provided don’t match the ones Sia have on their system which is strange . Can you help me in anyway? Dan
Hi Dan, that is strange. You can try contacting the SIA using there help form. Also make sure your name on your account matches directly to the one on your drivers licence. The first 16 letters and numbers should work, just ignore the last 2 digits.
is it possible that when you get the license...you might not find job the first couple months? whats is the percentage of you getting a job when you first get your license? thanks
Lost my driving license over 3 years ago, now have it back, but, will that stop me from being accepted into the security industry as it'll be on my criminal record?
Hi Kyle, you should be okay but you can check this on the SIA criminal record indicator here: www.services.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk/Pages/licensing-cri.aspx
Hi Abdus, there is no requirement at all in terms of height and size. Working as a door supervisor goes way beyond this. On the course you will learn many conflict management techniques where height and size do not matter. I hope this helps.
Hi. I don't know for sure, so don't quote me on this but my educated guess is that if this was something that would cause your licence to be revoked, then SIA would find out about it anyway and revoke your licence even before you tell them yourself because all of these different bodies kind of "talk" to each other in an algorithmic way via their shared databases etc and the SIA continues to monitor anyone with a licence like that and if something really serious was flagged up on the system then it would definitely result in someone losing their licence but if they haven't revoked your licence and it is still showing as 'Active' on their website, then I would presume it's OK and you probably won't need to tell them, although you could tell them if you wish to. Hope that helps. Best wishes.
@@JohnCashin Thanks, I was searching on Google answers they were showing different things on different sites so it was hard to know it was a minor FPN but still dont know how they would judge me on that so was sceptical.

The SIA is a joke.... been in security 20 years and this is probs my final year in security as i refuse to pay the rip off fees of £600 to get a licence to work in an industry that is pretty much common sense. You are expected to work all the time, holidays, christmas, easter whatever you are expected to work... also people stacking shelves in asda are on more money than security. I would not dare encourage anyone to become a security officer.... also security leads to depression due to long hours and being alone on night shift 4-5 nights a week
You are so right and wow 600 for a licence, damn
Since i posted this i have had a series of incidents at work involving thefts and the police cant do anything.

Do I necessarily have to get police clearance from Nigeria where I lived before coming to the UK. Recall that I did same during my first application
Hi there, yes you will need to supply 5 years history.
How long did it take you to receive your door supervisor license I’ve passed & I’m playing for my badge today on the SIA website
Hi Daryl, it took between 3-4 weeks from applying for my licence.
Mine tuck a week
How long will the license take to arrive? Everything done from the post office. Thanks
Hi Abid, it can take up to 6 weeks for the SIA to process everything
Cannot answer the screening questions. After the 2nd question keeps referring bk to the 1st question
Hi Pat, you can give us a call on 020 8638 5791, A member of our team will be able to help you.
Hi
I’m having trouble when I’m entering my drivers licence for the licence application. It’s saying there is an error despite my 16 numbers being correct. Sia have said to use the edge browser and also try entering the first 13 numbers only. It didn’t work. The page says the numbers I provided don’t match the ones Sia have on their system which is strange . Can you help me in anyway? Dan
Hi Dan, that is strange. You can try contacting the SIA using there help form. Also make sure your name on your account matches directly to the one on your drivers licence. The first 16 letters and numbers should work, just ignore the last 2 digits.
is it possible that when you get the license...you might not find job the first couple months?
whats is the percentage of you getting a job when you first get your license?
thanks
Really high if you are willing to work hard the industry is crying out for new staff
Higher than if you don’t have one ☝️
Lost my driving license over 3 years ago, now have it back, but, will that stop me from being accepted into the security industry as it'll be on my criminal record?
Hi Kyle, you should be okay but you can check this on the SIA criminal record indicator here: www.services.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk/Pages/licensing-cri.aspx
Is there any requirement for height and size?
I am a 5 8" male and somewhat skinny. Would this affect my chances of getting a job as door supervisor?
Hi Abdus, there is no requirement at all in terms of height and size.
Working as a door supervisor goes way beyond this. On the course you will learn many conflict management techniques where height and size do not matter.
I hope this helps.
I’m sure certain shoes will boost your height anyways… but everyone is who they are as long as your qualified for the job.
Hi i wanted to know if I should inform SIA of FPNs? Will they revoke my license?
Hi. I don't know for sure, so don't quote me on this but my educated guess is that if this was something that would cause your licence to be revoked, then SIA would find out about it anyway and revoke your licence even before you tell them yourself because all of these different bodies kind of "talk" to each other in an algorithmic way via their shared databases etc and the SIA continues to monitor anyone with a licence like that and if something really serious was flagged up on the system then it would definitely result in someone losing their licence but if they haven't revoked your licence and it is still showing as 'Active' on their website, then I would presume it's OK and you probably won't need to tell them, although you could tell them if you wish to. Hope that helps. Best wishes.
@@JohnCashin Thanks, I was searching on Google answers they were showing different things on different sites so it was hard to know it was a minor FPN but still dont know how they would judge me on that so was sceptical.
read all book i done all mock exam 100 percent in the end they give so difficult papers man speaiclly physical intervention not to much choice so so tricky question not fair ☹️
Great video really helped, is it okay to bring your own notes to the training
Hi Nitty, thank you! Yes you can but you also receive a free door supervisor handbook on your course which has lots of study notes in.
I couldn’t change the previous address any help on that
At the post office what did you have to do?
Hi Akrom, here you need to pay for your SIA licence, have your ID checked and also have your photo taken for your licence.
My english speeking is not good please tell me.. will i pass the SIA exam or not??
Hi Malik, if you listen to the instructor and practice for the exams you will be fine!
