You can still gain your personal licence with ABV.

In light of the on-going situation with coronavirus (COVID-19), we have decided to postpone our face-to-face courses. However, you can still complete your training and gain your qualification with a fully online experience. Choose your course from the selection below, and we will do the rest.

Course Overview

Working as a Security Officer within the Private Security Industry

The 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.

This four-day course is for anyone who provides or carries out contracted security activities as defined by the Security Industry Act 2001.

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.

In-Company Courses

The Security Guarding course is available on an in-company basis only (8-12 learners). abv can deliver this course at your desired location. For more information and a personalised quote, please complete the ‘request a callback’ form and a member of the team will be back in touch.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Working in any licensable role without the appropriate SIA licence is a criminal offence. Before applying for an SIA licence, individuals are required to gain this qualification.
