Do I need this on top of my SIA licence?

Many event and stadium operators ask for both — Spectator Safety opens up match-day work that pure SIA licensing doesn't.

Is this the same as the SGSA Level 2?

Yes — it's the same Ofqual-regulated Level 2 Award recognised by the Sports Grounds Safety Authority.

Are your SIA courses recognised by the Security Industry Authority?

Yes. Security Training London is an SIA Approved Centre delivering Ofqual-regulated qualifications via Highfield, Pearson and Industry Qualifications. Every certificate we issue is accepted by the SIA when applying for your front-line licence.

Do I need any qualifications before I book?

No prior qualifications are required. You must be 18 or over, hold valid photo ID (passport, driving licence or biometric residence permit) and have a basic understanding of English (around Level 1).

How quickly can I get on a course?

Courses start every week across our East London venues. If you book by Wednesday, we can usually get you on a course starting that weekend.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. You can secure your place with a small deposit and pay the balance on the first day of training, or split the fee across several payments — just ask when you book.
