SIA Door Supervisor Course Vs SIA Security Guard Course
Door Supervisors work at a site which is authorised by the local government, like bars, clubs, pubs, and entertainment venues. The role of a door supervisor is to ensure the safety of the visitors, customers, and staff. They will look for illegal or immoral activities and stop them for smooth operations.
On the other hand, Security Guards cannot work at alcohol serving sites as they are not licensed to perform security duties at such venues. They can work at non-licensed premises like corporate and retail centres only.
While a door supervisor can perform duties as a security guard, a security guard cannot get the role of a door supervisor.
We recommend doing a door supervisor course for most people planning to start a career in the security industry as it increases the chances of career opportunities for more paying security jobs.
