Overview

The Door Supervisor Top-up course is a focused two-day training designed for licensed door supervisors who need to renew their SIA licence. This course brings you up to date with the latest regulations, public safety measures, and practical skills required by employers across nightclubs, bars, retail outlets, event venues, and corporate security roles. With engaging classroom sessions, hands-on practice, and clear assessments, you’ll complete the training ready to renew your licence and continue working legally in the UK security sector.

Why the Top-up Course Is Required

Following recent SIA updates, licensed door supervisors must complete a recognised top-up training before renewing their licence. The top-up ensures you stay compliant with current legislation and industry best practices. Completing this course protects your right to work in security and keeps your knowledge current, practical, and marketable to employers.

What You Will Learn

During the 2-day Door Supervisor Top-up, our trainers cover the essential topics you need for safe and lawful security work, including:

• Updated security legislation: current laws and duties for door supervisors
• Terror threat and situational awareness: recognising risks and acting appropriately
• Physical intervention refresh: safe, lawful techniques and use-of-force considerations
• Conflict management: verbal de-escalation and communication skills
• Health & safety and public protection: risk assessment and emergency response
• Professional standards and customer service: maintaining credibility in front of the public

Who Should Attend

This top-up is intended for anyone who already holds an SIA Door Supervisor licence that is due for renewal or has expired. It is suitable for those continuing work in door supervision roles across various venues. To attend, you must have a valid Emergency First Aid at Work certificate and meet minimum English language requirements.
