SIA Security Guard Training in Bournemouth

Who Is Security Guard Training in Bournemouth For?

The Security Guard Course in Bournemouth is intended for people who want to prepare for duties such as controlling entry to premises, carrying out patrols, providing static security and helping protect people, buildings and property.

In Bournemouth, these responsibilities can apply across a wide range of settings, including shops and commercial premises around Old Christchurch Road and Westover Road, hotels and visitor-facing businesses near the seafront, and educational environments at Bournemouth University’s Lansdowne and Talbot campuses. Security officers may be responsible for checking access, observing activity around a site, documenting incidents and dealing appropriately with security concerns.

Completing this SIA licence-linked training provides the relevant qualification required before applying for an SIA Security Guard licence, giving learners a recognised starting point for pursuing professional guarding work.

Entry Requirements

You can begin the Security Guard course from age 16, as long as your English is at a suitable level to understand the teaching and complete the assessments. An SIA Security Guard licence cannot be applied for until you are at least 18.

Before starting the licence-linked course, you must also have a valid Emergency First Aid at Work certificate, or an accepted equivalent, that has at least 12 months left to run. If you still need the required First Aid qualification, training can be included when making your booking.
