Licence Renewals and Training
The qualifications linked to SIA licensing will remain current for licensing purposes until we change our core competency specifications, and we will not be doing this until after the first round of licence renewals in England and Wales. Until we do so, you will not need to undergo refresher training or undertake a new qualification when renewing your existing licence. |
