SIA CCTV Operator
3 days of Level 2 CCTV Operator (Public Space Surveillance) training at our Harrow centre (HA1), the qualification you need for an SIA CCTV licence. Pay £100 online to book and £200 at the centre.
Book the SIA CCTV course in Harrow if you want CCTV licence training close to Harrow: it is the Level 2 Award for CCTV Operators (Public Space Surveillance), the qualification behind an SIA CCTV licence. Three days cover the law, the operator's role and practical camera work.
At Harrow this course starts every other Wednesday. There are 7 dates open to book now, listed below with the day each one starts. The course runs over 3 days, 9am to 6pm each day. Every session counts towards the SIA's minimum hours, so plan to be there for all of it.
The full fee is £300. You pay £100 online when you book and the remaining £200 at the centre on your first day. The deposit is not refundable, because your place is registered and the trainer is arranged as soon as you book, but you can move to another date once, free of charge, with at least 48 hours notice.
Training is at 14 Havelock Place, Room 201 on the second floor, Harrow HA1 1LJ. Havelock Place is in central Harrow, close to Harrow on the Hill station (Metropolitan line and Chiltern trains) and the bus station. The Harrow centre is a second floor room in Havelock Place, in the middle of town. It serves the north west: Harrow, Wembley, Pinner, Stanmore and the Metropolitan line towns beyond.
Mostly people who want control room work in shopping centres, transport hubs, hospitals and town centre CCTV rooms, and door staff adding a second licence. You need to be 18 or over with the right to work in the UK. No security experience is needed, and the exams are taken at the centre at the end of the course.
Photo ID (a passport or UK driving licence), two recent proofs of address and three passport photos. You also need your two free ACT certificates from ProtectUK before day one. The joining instructions walk you through getting them.
The full syllabus, the units and exams, and the questions people ask before booking are on the SIA CCTV course page.
