SIA Top-Up Training for security officers is designed to keep your skills up to date with the needs of the modern security professional.
Its not just a skill refresher course. The changes to security work as introduced to SIA licensing in April 2021 are mandatory qualifications that all security professionals now need to have. Security Guards therefore now need to take Top-Up Training before renewing their licence.
Candidates must be 18 and over
SIA Top-Up Upskilling training is now part of every security professional’s career. It’s a step beyond simple skill refresher courses.
The new changes introduced to SIA Licensing in April 2021have become a central part of daily life for security professionals. Licensed security professionals are now required to take Top-Up Upskill Training to make sure they have this knowledge when renewing their SIA Licence.
Mastering these new skills means you’re able to better protect the public, property, and yourself. With SIA Top-Up Training, you’re honing your skills, while keeping people safe against new risks as they emerge.
The course takes 1 day to complete, running from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
You will sit two multiple choice exams.
It is important to note that Security Guard license holders cannot work in licensed premises.
Unlike Door Supervisor Top-Up Training, your course will only take 1 day. Besides EFAW training, you’ll cover:
✔️ Principles of Terror Threat Awareness in the Private Security Industry
✔️ Principles of Minimising Personal Risk for Security Officers in the Private Security Industry
These are the topics you’ll be assessed on by your training instructor. You need a pass rate of about 70% in both of these topics to pass the course, and you’ll show your new skills with practical assessments and by completing a few multiple choice exams.
Overall, your Security Guard Top-Up Training is nothing to worry about. But remember, by taking a day of your time to do it now, you’re potentially saving a lot of hassle and possible interruptions to your working life when renewing your SIA Licence later.
