SIA Security Guard Training in Brentwood

Who Is Security Guard Training in Brentwood For?

The Security Guard Course in Brentwood is suitable for people who want to prepare for work involving access management, static guarding, routine patrols and the protection of buildings, property and members of the public.

In Brentwood, this type of security work can apply across shops and customer-facing premises around the High Street and Baytree Centre, educational settings such as Brentwood School, and commercial, warehouse or industrial environments around Warley and Childerditch Industrial Park. Depending on the site, a security officer may be responsible for checking entry points, observing activity, carrying out patrols, documenting incidents and responding to potential security issues.

Completing this licence-linked training provides the relevant qualification required before applying for an SIA Security Guard licence, subject to the SIA's other licensing requirements.

Entry Requirements

Security Guard training can be taken from the age of 16. Learners need a suitable level of English to understand instruction, take part in the course and complete the assessments. Although training is available from 16, you must be at least 18 before you can apply for an SIA Security Guard licence.

You must also have a valid Emergency First Aid at Work certificate, or another accepted equivalent, before starting the licence-linked training. The qualification needs at least 12 months remaining at the course start date. If you do not already have suitable First Aid certification, the required training can be added when booking.
