Previous Training

If you have already completed a training course and hold a qualification in security guarding you may be exempt from all or part of the training required for an SIA licence.

Look through the table below and check the box for any qualifications you currently hold. Only those qualifications shown will allow exemptions.

It is important to ensure that training remains current. Therefore, qualifications allowing exemption from the SIA approved training must be no more than three years old, except where otherwise stated.
