Brighton presents a particularly varied working environment for security staff. Roles may be found around busy retail areas such as Churchill Square, The Lanes and North Laine, as well as seafront hotels and visitor attractions, commercial premises, Brighton Marina and University of Brighton sites at Moulsecoomb and Falmer.

Entry Requirements

The Security Guard course is open to learners aged 16 and over, as long as they have a sufficient level of English to follow the training and complete the assessments. An SIA Security Guard licence can only be applied for once you are 18 or older.

You must also hold a valid Emergency First Aid at Work certificate, or another accepted equivalent, with at least 12 months remaining when your training starts. If you do not already have an eligible First Aid qualification, suitable training can be added when you book.
