SIA Security Guard Training in Kingston

Who Is Security Guard Training in Kingston For?

The Security Guard Course in Kingston is suited to people preparing for guarding responsibilities such as controlling entry to premises, carrying out routine patrols, observing activity on site and helping protect people, buildings and property.

Kingston has a wide range of settings where these skills can be relevant, including shops and commercial premises throughout the town centre, university campuses, offices, hospitality venues and other workplaces across the borough. Depending on the site, a security officer may be expected to manage access, monitor designated areas, document incidents and respond appropriately when security issues arise.

Completing this SIA licence-linked training provides the qualification needed before you can apply for an SIA Security Guard licence, making it a practical first step for those intending to enter professional guarding work.

Entry Requirements

Security Guard Training in Kingston is available to learners aged 16 and above. You will need a good standard of English so that you can understand the training, participate effectively and complete the assessments. Although you can take the course from 16, you must be at least 18 to apply for an SIA Security Guard licence.

You must also hold a valid Emergency First Aid at Work certificate, or an accepted equivalent, before starting the course. It needs to remain valid for at least another 12 months when your Security Guard Training begins. If you do not currently have the required First Aid qualification, you can add suitable First Aid training when booking.
