SIA Door Supervisor Course in Aldgate

This SIA Door Supervisor course in Aldgate is the Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors in the Private Security Industry, the qualification you need before you can apply for an SIA Door Supervisor licence. It covers door work, guarding, searching, conflict management and physical intervention, and this booking includes the Emergency First Aid certificate the SIA asks for with the application.

Dates and times at Aldgate

At Aldgate this course starts a Monday every 3 weeks. There are 2 dates open to book now, listed below with the day each one starts. The course runs over 6 days, 9am to 6pm each day. Every session counts towards the SIA's minimum hours, so plan to be there for all of it.

Getting to the Aldgate centre

Training is at 6 Osborn Street, London E1 6TD. Osborn Street is at the bottom of Brick Lane. Aldgate East (District and Hammersmith and City lines) is seconds away, Aldgate (Circle and Metropolitan) a few minutes more, and Liverpool Street and Whitechapel both bring the Elizabeth line within a short walk. Osborn Street is where Brick Lane meets Whitechapel High Street, so the Aldgate centre is on the doorstep of the City and the Shoreditch bars and venues where many of our door supervisors go on to work.

What you pay

The full fee is £350. You pay £100 online when you book and the remaining £250 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.

Who books the Door Supervisor course at Aldgate

Mostly people starting out in security and people moving from guarding to door work, because the Door Supervisor licence covers both. 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.

What to bring

Your passport or UK driving licence, two proofs of address from the last three months and three passport size photos. For an SIA licence course you also need your two ACT certificates, which are free online; the joining instructions explain how to get them.
