We are undertaking a strategic review of the qualifications and training required to apply for an SIA licence. We have created a hub of information about the review and our engagement with industry around it.
The review will update our qualification requirements to keep pace with the demands on licensed operatives and ensure they have the safety-critical skills to keep the public safe.
The review will be informed by extensive engagement with security industry professionals, front line officers, supervisors, leaders and employers, as well as training providers. Specialist expert working groups with security and skills professionals with real-world experience will review each course, feed back, and make proposals to ensure they remain current and effective.
To ensure the broadest possible involvement and feedback into the new requirements, we have been carrying out early engagement. The hub contains recordings of our recent webinars on the review and data on how industry responded to our polling during those webinars.
