This 1-day refresher course is accredited by Highfield Qualifications, ensuring you meet the latest SIA training requirements with confidence and ease.

This course is for SIA licensed security guards who need to renew their licence and have previously completed the full Security Guard Training Course.

It's designed for those currently working — or returning to work — in roles such as:

• Retail Security
• Corporate Security
• Construction Site Guarding
• Static Guarding
• Reception and Front Desk Security
• Key Holding and Patrol Duties

This is not a top-up for door supervisors. For that, please see our SIA Door Supervisor Refresher Course.

Course Options & Pricing

• £72 + VAT per person – Refresher course only (valid Emergency First Aid at Work certificate required)
