SIA Security Guard Training in Hull

Who Is Security Guard Training in Hull For?

The Security Guard Course in Hull is suitable for people preparing to work in guarding positions involving access control, static security, patrols and the protection of premises, property and the people using them.

Hull has a varied mix of environments where these responsibilities are relevant. Retail and visitor-facing premises can be found around St Stephen’s and Princes Quay, while the University of Hull adds a large educational setting on Cottingham Road. The city also has substantial port, warehousing and industrial activity around the Port of Hull and the Hedon Road corridor. Depending on the workplace, a Security Guard may be expected to control entry, patrol designated areas, identify potential security concerns and maintain clear incident records.

Completing SIA Security Guard Training in Hull provides the licence-linked qualification required before you can apply for an SIA Security Guard licence. The licence itself is issued separately by the SIA and remains subject to its wider application requirements.

Entry Requirements

You can enrol on the Security Guard Course from the age of 16. You will need a good standard of English so that you can understand the training, participate effectively and complete the required assessments. To apply for an SIA Security Guard licence, however, you must be at least 18.

Before starting the licence-linked Security Guard Training, you must also hold a valid Emergency First Aid at Work certificate or another qualification accepted as equivalent. The certificate must have at least 12 months left before expiry when the course begins. If required, suitable First Aid training can be added during booking.
