Working as a Security Officer within the Private Security Industry

The HABC Level 2 Award for Working as a Security Officer within the Private Security Industry qualification is required by law for the grant of a Security Industry Authority licence (SIA), which allows individuals to work as a security guard in the private security industry.

To be granted this licence an applicant must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Pass the SIA’s criminality criteria
• Hold a recognised security guard’s qualification – the Level 2 Award in Security Guarding or the Level 2 Award in Door supervision.
