SIA Door Supervisor Security Training

Obtaining the Level 2 Door Supervisor qualification is the first step towards securing an SIA licence, enabling you to work as a door supervisor or security officer within the private security industry. This qualification opens up a wide range of opportunities, including roles in static guarding, manned guarding, key holding, construction sites, bars, events, and clubs.

Comprehensive Training Programme

Our door supervisor training is a seven-day course designed to provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to work in the security industry. The course includes Level 3 Emergency First Aid training, which is a legal requirement for an SIA door supervisor licence. Training is delivered by fully qualified and experienced tutors at our Middlesbrough training centre.

What does Door Supervisor Training cover?

The course begins with Level 3 Emergency First Aid, followed by the full door supervisor training syllabus. Key topics include:

• Understanding the private security industry
• The importance of safe working practices
• Drug misuse legislation
• Roles and responsibilities of a door supervisor
• Licensing law
• Queue management techniques
• Recognising, assessing, and managing risks in conflict situations
• Physical intervention skills and legal implications

Job opportunities with an SIA Door Supervisor licence

Once qualified and licensed by the SIA, you will be able to work in a variety of security roles across multiple industries. From construction sites, schools, and colleges to bars, nightclubs, and large-scale events, door supervisors play a crucial role in maintaining safety and order. Responsibilities include controlling access to licensed premises, managing conflict situations, preventing drug use, and assisting venue management in compliance with licensing laws.

Door Supervisor or Security Officer – which course should you choose?

There’s an important difference between door supervisor and security officer licences that can help you decide which one is for you. The door supervisor course includes an additional physical intervention module, making it slightly longer than the security officer training. This additional training provides door supervisors with the skills needed to work in licensed venues such as bars, clubs, and festivals where alcohol is served.

Security officers cannot work as door supervisors, but door supervisors can work in all security officer roles. Choosing to train as a door supervisor offers greater flexibility and a wider range of job opportunities, increasing your chances of securing employment in the security industry.
