What’s Covered in the Training

This one-day refresher course is designed to help you meet the updated SIA requirements introduced in April 2025. It’s ideal for staying compliant while building confidence in real-world security scenarios.

📘 What You’ll Learn: All modules reflect up-to-date industry expectations and operational situations faced by Security Officers in static and patrol roles.

  • Safe and Legal Searching
    Review the latest guidance on search protocols, including what to do when consent is refused or when handling found items.
  • Safeguarding in Security Roles
    Recognise and support at-risk individuals, with specific emphasis on lone workers, the elderly, and those facing social vulnerability.
  • Counter-Terror Response Techniques
    Understand the principles behind strategies like 'Run, Hide, Tell' and how to respond swiftly and effectively in high-risk scenarios.

Security Officer Jobs in Derby

Renewing your SIA Security Guard licence in Derby helps you stay eligible for work across the city’s retail, logistics, healthcare, and hospitality sectors. With Derby’s mix of commercial hubs and public institutions, demand remains high for trained and licensed professionals.

Roles our learners often go into include:

  • Reception and facilities security in buildings along London Road and the Pride Park business zone
  • Security patrols at distribution centres in Sinfin and Osmaston
  • Front-of-house security at hospitals, including Royal Derby and nearby clinics
  • Static guarding for construction or maintenance sites in and around Alvaston

Many of these roles do not involve licensed alcohol premises, making the SG licence a suitable qualification for static and non-door roles across Derby.

Who Should Take This Course?

This course is aimed at current or returning Security Guard licence holders. You should take it if:

  • Your SIA Security Guard licence is due to expire within the next 4 months
  • Your licence expired under 3 years ago, and you’d like to re-enter the industry
  • You’ve been out of the sector and want to refresh your skills without doing the full qualification again

⚠️ If your licence expired more than 3 years ago, the refresher course alone will not be sufficient — you’ll need to retake the full SIA Security Guarding course.
