“Great as usual, The service received is always top class! Returned to the Instant Services Glasgow training centre after doing my refresher last time with Roger. This time the same great service — not waiting around on results either after the 2 days which is great. The trainer Jamie was very knowledgeable having been in security frontline previously. Will definitely be returning again when my refresher is due.”

There are no formal academic qualifications required to start SIA training.
