So if you think this is something that you might want to do as a career, here’s how it works. First you need to attend one of the Sia Courses. You will sit some exams at the end of the course and results can take around ten working days. Once you have been informed by your training centre that you have successfully passed the Sia Security Training, using your certification, you will need to apply for an SIA Licence which can take about twenty working days to arrive in the post. And that’s it — you’re all set to make your mark in the security industry!

As mentioned above there are quite a few Sia Courses available; the two most popular ones are the Door Supervisor courseand theCCTV Operator course. With the SIA Door Supervisor Licence you are able to work in premises likebanks, hospitals, casinos, bars, nightclubs, airports, shopping areas, offices, construction sites etc. With the SIA CCTV Operator Licence you are able to work in a control room with CCTV equipment.
