Onsite SIA Refresher Training to Keep Your Licence Current

Keep your security team ready for renewal with practical refresher training delivered at your workplace.

An SIA licence doesn’t simply renew itself. When employees are approaching renewal, they need to complete the required refresher training and fitting that around shifts, sites and day-to-day operations can be a headache.

Our onsite SIA refresher training gives your team a straightforward way to complete their mandatory refresher training together. We bring the training to your premises, so employees don’t need to travel to an external centre and you can organise the session around your operational needs.

Who Needs SIA Refresher Training?

The course is for individuals renewing an SIA Door Supervisor or Security Guard licence. If you have several licence holders coming up for renewal, onsite delivery can make organising their training much easier.

The training is typically completed in one day, giving your employees a focused session to refresh the knowledge they need before renewing their licence.

What Does the SIA Refresher Course Cover?

The SIA refresher training is designed to bring licence holders up to date with current requirements while revisiting important areas of their role.

For Door Supervisors, the training covers:

  • Searching – search procedures, rights of search and dealing with prohibited items
  • Protecting Vulnerable People – duty of care, recognising indicators of abuse and responding appropriately to vulnerable individuals
  • Terror Threat Awareness – understanding threat levels, recognising potential attack methods and knowing what action to take
  • Spiking – recognising signs of spiking, understanding the relevant law and managing a spiking incident

These aren’t subjects to brush over. They deal with situations security professionals may genuinely encounter while working.

Why Choose Onsite SIA Refresher Training?

When several employees need to renew their licences, sending everyone to different training sessions can quickly become difficult to manage. With onsite delivery, your team can complete the required training together at your premises.

You can:

  • Train multiple licence holders in one organised session
  • Reduce travel and time away from work
  • Make refresher training easier to plan around staff rotas
  • Refresh important knowledge before licence renewal
  • Keep your security team up to date with the required training

Simple, really. Your people stay where they’re needed, while the training comes to them.

How Long Is the SIA Refresher Course?

The course is typically delivered over 1 day.

That makes it easier for businesses to plan refresher training without taking employees away from their roles for several days. If you’re arranging training for a group, speak to K4 Training about your requirements and preferred dates.

What Happens After Completing the Refresher Training?

Completing the refresher training allows individuals to renew their SIA licence for another 3 years.

For employers, keeping track of licence renewals is important. Arranging refresher training in good time helps your team stay on top of the process rather than leaving everything until the last minute.

Door Supervisor or Security Guard Refresher Training

The refresher requirement applies to SIA Door Supervisor and Security Guard licence holders. If your employees need to renew their Door Supervisor licence, you may also want to explore our door supervisor refresher course for individual learners.

For organisations training several employees, our wider onsite training programme brings together a range of professional courses that can be delivered at your workplace.
