Licensing and compliance updates
- Mandatory refresher training: As of April 1, 2025, you must complete a refresher course before renewing a door supervisor or security guard licence.
- First aid qualification: You need a current 'Emergency First Aid at Work' qualification to take the refresher training.
- Counter-terrorism content: All refresher courses for door supervision, security guarding, and close protection now include counter-terrorism content.
What you need to do
- Plan your training: Make sure you complete the required refresher training before your licence expires, as you cannot renew without it.
- Check your qualifications: Ensure you have an up-to-date 'Emergency First Aid at Work' qualification before registering for your refresher course.
- Stay informed: Keep up with the latest changes by checking the SIA website and reading the latest updates on their blog.
