Questions
About the free tools
Do I need an account to use these?
No. Nothing on this page asks you to sign up or give an email address. Open a tool and use it.
Are the practice tests the real exam questions?
No. The real papers are confidential to the awarding bodies. Our questions are written from the SIA's published learning outcomes, so they cover the same knowledge in the same multiple choice format.
Can I use the licence checker for someone else's licence?
Yes. The SIA register is public, so employers and venues can confirm that security staff are licensed. You need the licence number or the holder's surname and licence sector.
Do I have to do ACT training before my course?
Yes. The SIA requires the free ACT e-learning certificates before you can sit the course exams. Our ACT guide walks you through registering and downloading the certificates.
