Why Do You Need A Security Guard Top Up Training Course?

The Security Industry Authority requires security guards to renew their SIA licences every three years. It is best to apply for a new security badge if the remaining validity of your current licence is 4 months. The renewal cost for an SIA licence is £184, similar to a new one.

Moreover, SIA demands an SIA Security Guard Top Up Training Course for security guards before applying for a new security badge. Also, you acquire new techniques and concepts to execute your job responsibilities successfully. Contact our customer support team via email or phone to know more about the SIA top-up training course.

SIA First Aid Requirement for Security Top Up/Upskilling Course?

SIA recommends having an Emergency First Aid qualification before applying for a security guard upskilling course. It should have the remaining validity of at least 12 months. Be sure to check that before registering for a security top up training.

But you do not have to worry about this with Agile Security Training as we include First Aid Training in all SIA security courses for Free.

Other SIA Courses Available

Even though the SIA Door Supervisor course is the most popular to secure the most demanding job opportunities, you may want to check out other SIA training courses to improve your knowledge or go for other security jobs.
