SIA Security Guard Training Glasgow

Designed to meet the latest Security Industry Authority (SIA) requirements, this course gives you the knowledge, practical skills, and recognised qualification you need to apply for your SIA Security Guard Licence and begin working in the security sector.

Who is the Course For?

This course is specifically for individuals who want to work as a security guard in environments such as:

• Retail stores and shopping centres
• Office buildings
• Construction sites
• Corporate security settings
• Static guarding and key holding
• Reception and gatehouse roles

Door supervision, CCTV operation, and close protection require different SIA qualifications. This course is not suitable for those looking to work as door supervisors — instead, it’s tailored for security officers focused on property protection, access control, and public safety.

• Accreditation: Highfield Qualifications

We offer small class sizes, experienced trainers, and a supportive learning environment to ensure every learner feels confident and prepared.
