SIA Security Guard Training in Canary Wharf

Who Is Security Guard Training in Canary Wharf For?

Security skills are relevant across Canary Wharf’s concentration of corporate offices, managed commercial buildings, retail and leisure spaces, residential developments and education facilities.

You must also hold a valid Emergency First Aid at Work certificate, or another accepted equivalent, with at least 12 months remaining when your Security Guard training begins. If you do not already meet this requirement, First Aid training can be added during booking.
