I have got to renew my license soon, trouble is £184 Renewal then top up course and first aid course £300, then have 3 days off work to do the training £360, then no courses in my area so got to travel 40 miles away to Manchester and back each day £100, nearly costing £950, after all that still on minimum wages for day and night shifts and working weekends, thinking is it worth having a badge anymore after doing security for the last 21 years, 😂😂
its a total ripoff, trouble is nowdays people will work for minimum wages cos most are not from england and its a lot of money back home, door supervisors should be getting paid a lot more than they are at the moment cos of the risk involved
First of all, thank you, you explain everything very nicely and give a lot of important information through your videos. I am currently living in dubai and working as a security guard in dubai, I have hnd, will come to UK for top up inshallah. Now I will come to UK from Dubai but my home country is Bangladesh. In that case police clearance will be required from which country to get SIA license.
Instead going to post office in appreciation process I paid £192 for door supervise & cctv surveillance and the email came the exception . Now they check up to criminal record , when can I go for post office or what to do. Thanks Mustapha Omer Haji
Well I enjoyed everything about the SIA training. But there should be an improvement on how long it’s takes to complete the application 21days is a hell of time

Hi there, you can see all of the documents you need here: www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-sia-licence#check-you-have-the-right-document You will need to also have your address history for the last 5 years, criminal record checks from the countries you have lived in for the past 5 years and the right to work in the UK.
good afternoon, people from Europe for example Italy or Germany after they attend a close protection course recognized by the SIA authority can apply for a Front Line SIA LICENCE ?
Passport. Is it essential to have one in order to apply? My UK passport expired 5 years ago. I had and still have no intention to travel so didn't renew. I have a driving licence if this helps? Thank you.
Hi, you do not need a passport - your driving licence will be fine. You will also need 2 documents which prove your address. These can be things like bank statements or utility bills.
I have paid 190 online instead going to nearby post office and in online it's asking counter signatory form and I don't have way to get it. It's almost 7 months. Can I get best way to get out of it and get my batch ??
hello sir i have my police clearance and i uploaded it on my sia account but i have made a mistake by requesting exception because i don't know what is it i just did it so what should i do now please help??
Ive applied for my SIA licence but its saying it doesent have a record of my qualification. I completed my course with get licenced and reived my certificate. Why doesn't it have a record of me? All details are correct.
How recently did you complete your course? It can take a few days for the qualification to be linked to yourself. Also make sure you have used the same name in your application as you did when you booked the course.
Dear bro I applied SIA Card on 22-August-2023 and decision has been made of my application on 5-Sept-2023 but now 1 month 4 days complete But I did not receive SIA Card yet so please tell me now what to do?
Good job brother. i have a Question, i am planning to apply for the license within 1 week but the thing is my brp ending date is 15 february 2024. Its mean i have almost 40 days . I am getting confused about this is there have any chance to not get the license because my brp time will be finished in 45 days? please advise me what should i do.
Are you planning on renewing your BRP? You need to have a valid SIA licence to continue working in the security industry. You will not allowed to work with an expired licence.
I’m about to apply for SIA license after passing my DS but I’m having trouble getting the documents required for my proof of address as an international student in Scotland. I would like to know if I can use statements from 2 online banks.
My liesence is granted 15 April 2024 but not received then i submitted replacement request on 21 may but liesence is not received in 14 days.. address is correct. Then again i submitted again replacement request on 18 June 2024. I am very worried about my liesence why my liesence is not received.. My liesence is granted but not received 😢 What i do next?😢
How I can add my qualifications to my SIA account? When I enter my certificate number, website says “we cannot find your certificate”. But I have passed and achieved my certificate. Thanks
Hi Ali, have you made sure you have used the same name as the name you passed your course with? It can sometimes take a few days for the awarding body and the SIA to link up.
I only have 1 document from list B, a letter from hmrc, on my course I sent off a bank statement from my phone but it says clearly they won’t accept an online bank statement when sending for the license.. anyone got any advice I don’t get bank statements in the post I don’t pay any of the bills or have anything it’s asked for other than a hmrc letter 😢
Why does my application says waiting for overseas criminality certificate information from me., while I've sent it some weeks ago. Why does it says information required. What will show that I have sent it?
These documents will be the same as the ones you had to show on your course. So a proof of identity, and your proofs of address. Passport / Drivers licence and a bank statement will do.

HI, it is now a requirement from the SIA for anyone who is renewing their licence to complete the Top up training course. You can see the security guard top up training here: www.get-licensed.co.uk/sia-top-up-training-for-security-guards-upskilling-course
If I do Door suprvision with you. How many paper question come up , and how many I need to be cleared or passed marke . Doest exam will be on screen or paper and how many minuit to cover
I have a question please I had conditional discharge 8 month ago I didn't commit any other problems I did the door supervisor course last week my question is if they check my criminal records wil they see it and refuse me the badge couse I never committed any other please someone answer me
Hi, yes the SIA will be able to see this if it is on your criminal record so it is worth declaring this in your application. They will put everything into consideration and make a decision. Hopefully you should be okay.
my name on driving license is mr gurdeep singh in forname option. but it does not match with sia application because of forename or surname problem what should i do??
You just need to wait until you have passed your SIA training course. Sometimes it can take a couple of days for the qualification to be linked to your account though.
Do I need to have my original birth certificate? I've lost mine. Also, do you need to do a top up course every 3 years? Aswell as repay license fee every 3 years? Kind of punishing minimum wage workers no?
Hi there, you could bring with you a passport or a drivers licence instead. Remember you also need 2 group B documents like a bank statement or utility bill. So far you do not need to redo the top up course after 3 years.
@@getlicensed very suspicious that you don't say anything in a reply to him on the subject of the minimum wage he mentioned. Very telling that its an utter scam.
@@mgtowchampion7961 wages are set by employers not Get Licensed. A scam means a dishonest scheme - employers offer a pay rate, if you don’t like it, don’t accept.
I just passed on door supervisor , but I’ll do cctv course now, it’s better to wait to apply after ? I’ll get both courses on same Sia license? Or need to do separate?
Please I need advice. I’m yet to do any SiA course and can only afford to do one right now. Don’t know which to go for. Door supervisor or CCTV operator? Any advice will be highly appreciated.
I gave my exam almost 5 weeks back but still I did not get results. My agency is asking us to b patient even after 5 weeks. Is there any other way to check results?
Please let me know if , and how you sort it out the application. I have the same issue with different course provider. my licence expired on 28th of October. and now am confuse what to do.
Yes, you can use: - a driving licence photocard issued by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in the UK - a driving licence photocard and its paper counterpart issued by the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) in Northern Ireland - a UK original birth certificate issued within 12 months of birth - a UK adoption certificate - a UK biometric residence permit card
Some common mistakes when applying for your SIA Licence include: Entering their middle name in the forename field. For example if your name is David Lee Rodgers, your first name would be David, middle name Lee and Surname Rodgers. If your drivers licence has an abbreviated name on it - for example MD is short for Mohammad. If this is the case, you would fill out your name so it matches your Drivers licence and put MD as your forename and any other names in the middle name and surname field. I hope this helps.
To reniew my linsece do I need to send them again the same documents like we do the first time we applied? Because I did my first aid and top up course and now I really don’t know what step to follow my linsece expires December 4
Hi Stan, to apply for your SIA licence you must complete a training course in the UK and have the right to work in the UK. You can see all of the course information for the Door Supervisor course here: www.get-licensed.co.uk/door-supervisor
Hi.. My wife doesn't have any middle name and last name she has a single name how can i apply for that. and for the 5 year address history what should i mention there as i have moved to uk just a 5 months ago should i need to mention my previous home address back in my home country?
The SIA licence is only a requirement for working in the UK's Private Security Industry. If you are not from the UK you can still get your licence, however you must have the right to work in the UK and be able to supply a criminal record check as well as a few other checks.
Hello Daniel, Thank you for reaching out! You can apply for your SIA licence using this link: www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-sia-licence If you need any help with the process, feel free to ask! Best regards, The Get Licensed Team
Hi i have a question I'm security guard in France if i wanna move and pass my Sia licence in England i Can or not because I'm not a british citizen Someone Can help me ?
Yes you can - you would just need the right to work in the UK and complete a SIA training course. You can see the Door Supervisor course here: www.get-licensed.co.uk/door-supervisor
Hello Sir i live in algeria , can i apply to the SIA , and if i have tourist visa to the Uk can i apply and work there and have job visa and thank you sir.
Hi Shiva, yes you can apply for your SIA licence, you just need to make sure you have the right to work in the UK. We recommend the door supervisor licence as this gives you more opportunities for work.
Form A and B refers to your Identity documents. Form A documents could be your passport or driving licence, Form B can be things like Utility bills or Bank Statements. You need one A and two B documents.
@@getlicensed No, I haven't started yet, I'm just going to update the license in the future. But my training provider said that they will not link my account with a sia account automatically. They said they will send me a certificate and then I should download this certificate in my application. Is that right? Can I do that by myself?
