Requirements

Frequently asked question

Security Guard Refresher Training is the current refresher qualification for existing Security Guard licence holders who need to meet the training requirement for licence renewal. The current qualification is the Level 2 Award for Security Officers in the Private Security Industry (Refresher). It focuses on areas including searching, vulnerability awareness and terror threat awareness, with knowledge examinations and practical searching assessment.

An SIA Security Guard Refresher Course is training leading to the relevant refresher qualification associated with Security Guard licence renewal. The SIA sets the licensing requirements, while training providers deliver the relevant qualification through the applicable awarding organisation framework. The current Security Guard refresher qualification is required for licence renewal.

Security Guard licence holders who are renewing their licence need to complete the required refresher qualification. The current SIA guidance states that Security Guard licence renewal requires both the relevant full licence-linked qualification and the refresher qualification. Your individual circumstances should still be checked against the latest SIA guidance before booking.

Yes. Refresher training became mandatory for Security Guard licence renewal from 1 April 2025. The current requirement is the relevant Security Guard refresher qualification alongside the existing full licence-linked qualification. You should also check the current first aid and other preparation requirements before attending.

The current Security Guard refresher qualification covers terror threat awareness, searching and protecting people in vulnerable situations. Assessment includes multiple-choice examinations and a practical assessment for searching. These requirements are based on the current SIA licence-linked refresher framework.

The SIA currently states that Security Guard refresher training takes approximately 0.5 to 1 day of in-person training, depending on how much self-study the learner completes. This does not include any separate first aid training that may be required. The exact timetable should be confirmed with the training provider before booking.

The terminology can be confusing because the current qualification is formally titled the Level 2 Award for Security Officers in the Private Security Industry (Refresher), while it is associated with Security Guard licence renewal. Job titles can also vary between employers, so learners should select training based on their actual qualification and SIA licensing circumstances rather than job title alone.

Security Guard Top-Up Training was part of an earlier SIA training arrangement introduced for existing licence holders following changes to licence-linked qualifications. The current SIA guidance now refers to refresher qualifications for Security Guard licence renewal, and the previous top-up requirements are no longer the current renewal route.

Yes. The current Security Guard refresher qualification is assessed through multiple-choice question examinations covering the relevant refresher subjects, together with a practical assessment for searching. The exact assessment arrangements should be confirmed with the training provider and applicable awarding organisation.

Refresher training is intended for people with the relevant existing security qualification and licensing circumstances rather than people entering the industry for the first time. For Security Guard licence renewal, the SIA states that the learner must hold the relevant full licence-linked qualification as well as the refresher qualification.

It depends on your individual qualification and licensing circumstances. The current SIA guidance distinguishes between renewing an existing licence and applying for a licence where a previous licence has lapsed or other circumstances apply. Before booking, check the current SIA training requirements that apply to your situation rather than assuming a refresher course is automatically appropriate.

No. Training completion and SIA licensing are separate processes. Completing the required refresher qualification satisfies the training element where applicable, but you must still complete the SIA licence renewal process and meet its other requirements. The SIA carries out the licensing checks and makes the licensing decision.

After successful completion of the required training and assessment, you receive the relevant qualification documentation through the applicable qualification process. If you are renewing a Security Guard licence, you then need to complete the appropriate SIA licensing process. Completing the course itself does not constitute automatic licence renewal.

The relevant refresher qualification is offered through awarding organisations recognised within the SIA licence-linked training framework. The SIA states that training providers are approved by awarding organisations and specifically warns that it does not itself approve or vet individual training providers. For this reason, learners should verify the specific qualification and awarding organisation associated with the course they are booking.

For the current Security Guard refresher route, the relevant qualification is the Level 2 Award for Security Officers in the Private Security Industry (Refresher). The qualification is awarded following successful completion of the applicable training and assessment requirements.

Start by checking your existing security qualification, current or previous SIA licence, the licence you want to hold and the latest SIA training guidance. You should also check first aid and other current prerequisites. If your circumstances are unusual, obtain confirmation before booking rather than relying on generic advice.
