Security

SIA Security Guard Course Portsmouth | £245 Inc. EFAW & Free Resits

Four-day SIA Security Officer training in Portsmouth. £245 including Emergency First Aid at Work and two free resits. Small classes, ex-police trainer.


The Level 2 Award for Security Officers is the licence-linked qualification you need to work as a security guard in retail, corporate premises, warehousing, construction and events. Four days covering the private security industry and relevant legislation, patrolling and access control, incident and emergency response, conflict management, and terror threat awareness. Emergency First Aid at Work is included in the price and so are two resits. If you think you may want door work later, the Door Supervisor course covers both roles - ask before you book and we

will tell you honestly which one fits your plans.


Duration: 4 days + EFAW day 

Per learner: £245

SIA Refresher & Top-Up Training | Portsmouth & Hampshire | SIA Security Guard Refresher

SIA licence renewal training in Portsmouth. Renew before your badge expires.


Since April 2025, refresher training has been mandatory before you renew an SIA licence. Door supervisors take a two-day top-up covering updated legislation, terror threat awareness, physical intervention re-certification and emergency first aid skills; security officers take a one day. You can start your renewal up to four months before your current licence expires, and the new licence begins when the old one runs out - so booking early costs you nothing. Delivered in Portsmouth in small groups.


Duration:1 day 

Per learner: £110

SIA Door Supervisor Course Portsmouth | £295 Inc. First Aid & Resits

Six-day SIA Door Supervisor training in Portsmouth. £295 including Emergency First Aid at Work and two free resits. Small classes, ex-police trainer.


The SIA Door Supervisor qualification is the route to a door supervision licence and the most widely accepted SIA badge in the industry - it covers door work, event security, retail and static guarding, so most employers prefer it over the security guarding licence. Over six days you will cover the private security industry and the law that governs it, conflict management and de-escalation, terror threat awareness, drug and vulnerability awareness, searching, and the physical intervention skills that only appear on this course. Your Emergency First Aid at Work qualification, a licence prerequisite since 2021, is included rather than sold as an add-on, and you get two free resits if you do not pass first time. Classes are capped at 12 and taught by a former Hampshire police officer with twelve years’ operational service.


Duration: 6 days + EFAW day 

Per learner: £295

Statement Writing Training for Investigators | On-Site, Hampshire & London

One-day statement writing course for housing, enforcement and security teams. £595 for up to 12.


Written and delivered by a former police officer. If your team’s paperwork can end up in front of a court, the quality of their statements decides whether a case stands or falls. This bespoke day covers evidence gathering and the correct exhibiting of material, the rules on disclosure and unused material, the structure of a statement that survives cross examination, and the common errors that get evidence excluded. Built and delivered by a former Hampshire police officer with twelve years’ service, and tailored to the type of cases your team actually handles - antisocial behaviour, tenancy fraud, enforcement or workplace investigation.
