Questions and answers
Does this course replace having to do SIA course training
Answer:Good morning Mr Abbott. No this does not replace the Top up Training that was introduced in October 2021. This is an online e learning course that can be done to update your knowledge only. If you do need to renew your license then you need to complete the relevant Top up course for either Security Officer or Door Supervisor. You also have to now have a valid first aid certificate with at least 12 months left to run on it from the start date of your course. Both courses also available
