There are job opportunities in various settings such as nightclubs, bars, pubs, music events, and shopping centres.

You will be responsible for managing access control, monitoring crowds, preventing disorderly behaviour, and handling conflicts or incidents that may arise.

Question 4

Does the Door Supervisor qualification have an expiry date?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Door Supervisor qualification is valid for a period of three years. Within this timeframe, you are required to apply for and obtain the SIA licence. Once the licence is granted, you will need to renew it every three years. When the renewal is due, the SIA will provide instructions on any additional requirements, such as a top-up course.

Question 5

How much does the SIA Door Supervisor licence cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of the SIA Door Supervisor licence starts at £204 for first-time applicants. For additional licences, a 50% discount is applied. Please visit the SIA website for the most accurate and up-to-date fee information.

Question 6

How long does it take for the SIA to process my licence application?

Accepted Answer

On average, it takes five to seven weeks for your SIA licence application to be processed. Please ensure to check your SIA account for any updates, as the SIA will notify you through messages on the platform.

Question 7

Is the Door Supervisor licence better than the Security Guard licence?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the specific requirements of the job. Door Supervisors are trained for premises that serve alcohol and involve direct interaction with the public. Security Guards are more suited for environments that do not involve alcohol and primarily require monitoring or patrolling duties. Door Supervisors have a broader scope as they can also work as security guards.

Question 8

Is it easy to find a job after completing the Door Supervisor course?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is relatively easy to find a job once you are licensed. There is a high demand for licensed Door Supervisors, and you will find plenty of job opportunities in bars, nightclubs, events, hotels, retail, and other licensed premises. The flexibility of the licence allows you to explore various sectors within the private security industry.

Question 9

I am unemployed, will the Job Centre pay for my SIA licence?

Accepted Answer

If you are currently receiving benefits such as JSA or Universal Credit, it is possible that your job centre advisor can assist in arranging funding for your SIA licence application. However, it's important to note that the availability of funding and financial support from the Job Centre is subject to individual circumstances and local policies.

Question 10

Why skip the booking portals and train directly with us?

Accepted Answer

Booking directly with Instant Services means you are learning from our very own instructors in our Glasgow facility. Middleman portals often assign you to random subcontractors, leading to unexpected fees or poor-quality teaching. Booking with us guarantees your spot and ensures high training standards.
