What is the cost of an SIA licence?

From 1st April 2026, all SIA licences cost £204 and are valid for 3 years. This fee does not cover the cost of any required training before applying for your SIA licence.

Which SIA Licence is the best?

The most popular SIA licence is the SIA Door Supervisor licence. It acts like a 2-in-1 licence, qualifying you to take on the responsibilities of both a door supervisor and a security guard. This licence opens up job opportunities in licensed premises, events, retail, offices, corporate settings, and construction sites.

How long does it take to complete an SIA course?

The duration of your SIA training depends on the course you choose. The SIA Door Supervisor course lasts 6 days, the Security Guarding course is 4 days, and the CCTV Operator course is 3 days. If you are renewing your SIA badge, the Door Supervisor refresher course takes 2 days, while the Security Guarding refresher course only takes 1 day.

How much can I earn with an SIA licence?

Earnings with an SIA security licence can vary based on the role, location, and experience level. On average, security guards can earn between £22,000 and £34,000 per year. Door supervisors typically earn between £22,000 and £38,000 annually. CCTV operators can expect to make £25,000 to £30,000 per year. Higher wages are possible with more experience, night shifts, or in high-demand areas such as events or corporate security.

What are the requirements to apply for an SIA licence?

To apply for an SIA licence, you must be at least 18 years old, have successfully completed the relevant SIA security course, pass the SIA criminal record check, and have the legal right to work in the UK.

Are the SIA security courses difficult?

SIA courses are generally straightforward to pass, with assessments based on practical demonstrations and multiple-choice exams. To help you prepare, we offer various free resources, including mock tests, handbooks, and test preparation books.

What are the benefits of having an SIA licence?

Having an SIA licence offers many benefits. Unlike other jobs, you have the flexibility to work when you want, choosing between weekday or weekend shifts, and selecting morning, afternoon, or evening hours. With a current shortage of SIA security operatives, the demand for licensed professionals is high. Getting an SIA licence is relatively inexpensive and quick, allowing you to start a new career faster than in many other fields. Plus, the pay is competitive.

Can I complete the SIA security training online?

SIA courses are delivered through blended learning, meaning that some portions can be completed remotely online. However, since all SIA courses include practical components, the SIA does not allow them to be conducted entirely online.
