Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which course do I need to get an SIA licence?

It depends on the job. Door supervisors need the Level 2 Door Supervisor qualification, security guards need the Security Officer qualification, and control room staff need the CCTV qualification. Call us and we'll tell you which one fits the work you want.

Is the B1 ESOL test accepted for British citizenship and ILR?

We prepare you for the LanguageCert ESOL SELT B1 (Speaking & Listening), a Home Office approved test used for citizenship and settlement applications. Always check the current Home Office requirements for your application.

What is the Life in the UK test?

A computer-based test of 24 questions about British life, history and values. You need 18 correct answers to pass. Our classes cover the official handbook and include mock tests.

When can I start?

SIA security courses run on set dates (see Course Dates). English, ESOL, Life in the UK and Driving Theory classes are flexible, so you can join any week.

What do I need to bring on the first day?

Usually photo ID, such as a passport, and proof of address. For SIA courses you need two forms of ID from the SIA's accepted list. We'll confirm exactly what to bring when you book.
