SIA-endorsed qualifications are valid for SIA licensing requirements regardless of which UK qualifications regulatory authority approved them. However:

  • If you will be working mainly in England or Wales then the most appropriate qualifications are those focussed on England and Wales.
  • If you will be working mainly in Scotland then the qualifications most pertinent to you are those focussed on Scotland.

If you intend to work in Scotland but your training focussed on England and Wales, we recommend that you undertake additional, location-specific training before you start work.

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.
