Tell me about The security Industry qualification.Can you?

Question

It's called the SIA

Answer 1

In England, Wales and Scotland, you need to be licenced by the SIA (Security Industry Authority) if your job involves certain tasks:

1: "manned guarding": including:

guarding cash or valuables in transit;

close protection (bodyguard);

door supervision (bouncer);

CCTV surveillance operator; and

being a security guard.

2: Clamping and/or removing vehicles.

3: Key holding.

These are all separate licences; they cost around £250 each but if you need two different ones, you get a 50% discount on the second.

The SIA will check various things before issuing you with a licence: these include whether you're qualified for the licence, your criminal record, mental health record.

Here's the full info from SIA's own website: http://www.the-sia.org.uk/home/licensing...
