Chorley has a broad mix of settings where these responsibilities may apply. Retail activity is concentrated around Market Walk and Chorley Market, while Ackhurst Business Park and Chorley Central Business Park provide established office and commercial environments.

Entry Requirements

Learners can begin the Security Guard course from the age of 16 and must have enough English language ability to understand the training and complete the required assessments. To apply for an SIA licence, however, you need to be at least 18.

You must also have a valid Emergency First Aid at Work certificate, or another accepted equivalent, before the course starts. An existing qualification needs at least 12 months remaining. First Aid training can be added to your booking if you do not already meet this requirement.
