SIA is making some changes to the training you need to take before you can get a front line SIA licence. These changes will happen in April and October 2021.

The changes are:

  • on 1 April 2021, SIA will introduce updated qualifications for all sectors except close protection.
  • from 1 April 2021, you must have a first aid qualification before you can apply for a door supervisor or security guard licence.
  • on 1 October 2021, SIA will introduce updated close protection qualifications
  • from 1 October 2021, you must have one of the new qualifications or take top-up training before you can apply for a door supervisor and security guard licence – this includes renewals.

From 1 October 2021, you must have one of the following before you can apply for a door supervisor or security guard licence:

  • one of the new qualifications introduced on 1 April
  • one of the older licence-linked qualifications and a ‘top-up’ qualification

This applies to any applications submitted on or after 1 October, including renewals. If you submit your application before this date, you will not need take additional training.
