Have you completed your training qualification recently?

Once you have successfully completed your SIA training, the training provider will upload the qualification certificate to our online licensing system.

The name you use when you create your SIA account must match the name on your identity documents and should include any middle names that appear on those documents.

Please ensure that your training provider has your full name as it appears on your SIA online account and that they hold your correct date of birth.

This will ensure that when the training certificate is uploaded, it can automatically be attached to your account. We will send you a message when this is done.

Please note that it can take up to 14 days for the training certificate(s) to be uploaded after you have successfully completed your qualification.

If it has been more than 14 days since you completed your qualification, and your qualification is still not linked to your online account, please contact your training provider. Please ensure your training provider holds the correct name and date of birth for you and that they have uploaded your qualification to us. If they do not have the correct spelling of your name, you can ask them to get this corrected and resend the qualification to us.

If you have done this already and the qualification is still not linked, please use your online account to contact us stating your qualification is not showing on your account.

You will need to wait for your qualification to be uploaded to us before you can start an application for your chosen sector.

Do you want to know how long it will take us to process your application? Use our decision timescale indicator. http://bit.ly/3pip6un

The indicator will ask you a number of questions about you and about your application. It will then use your answers to estimate how long it will take us to process your application.

It will do this by looking at the average time taken for us to process applications like yours over the previous months.

The resulting time suggested by the online tool starts from when you submit your application and ends when we make our decision on whether to grant or refuse you a licence.

The figure is an average calculated from the time taken to process applications like yours over the last six months. The actual time taken to process your application may be longer or shorter than the estimate provided by the tool.

You can help to speed things up by:

• Following all of the instructions we send you - for example, if we ask you to go to the post office and then send your documents to us, please make sure that you do send us your documents. Please also make sure that you send us the actual documents we have requested (so, don't send us photocopies if we have asked for the original documents).

• Logging into your online account regularly to check for any messages - we may need further information from you in order to process your application. If we do, we will tell you through your online account.

• Responding to anything we send you as quickly as possible - for example, if we send you a form to sign, please sign it and send it back to us straight away.

Please note we cannot answer questions about your application through social media. The best way to contact us for questions related to your application is through your online account.

Important ⭕️

New qualifications available
On 01 April 2021, we introduced updated qualifications for all sectors (except updated Close Protection qualifications on 01 October 2021).

From now on you must have a first aid qualification before you can take the training required for a door supervisor or security guard licence.

From 01 October 2021, you must have one of the new qualifications or take top-up training before you can apply for a Door Supervisor and Security Guard licence – this includes renewals.

Important note for anyone whose SIA licence is due for renewal this year:
If you submit your renewal application before 01 October 2021, there is no need for a first aid qualification or top-up training. If you renew after 01 October, you need a first aid qualification and the new top-up training to renew a door supervisor or security guard licence.

If you hold a door supervisor licence:
From 01 October 2021, if you hold a door supervisor licence you can choose one of the following options: take the door supervisor top-up training and renew your door supervisor licence or, take the security guard top-up training and switch to a security guard licence. In either case, you must have an Emergency First Aid at Work qualification, or equivalent, before can you take the top-up training.
