The SIA door supervisor qualification explained
To work as a door supervisor in the UK you need a front-line SIA (Security Industry Authority) door supervisor licence, and to get one you must first pass a licence-linked training course. That course is the Level 2 Award for Working as a Door Supervisor in the Private Security Industry.
What you need before you start
The SIA requires you to hold a first aid qualification, valid for at least another 12 months, before you can take the door supervisor training. The door supervisor course itself includes physical intervention training as well as the knowledge units.
How the qualification is assessed
The Level 2 Award is delivered and assessed by an SIA-approved awarding organisation, so the exact number of questions and the pass mark are set by that body rather than nationally. The knowledge units cover the private security industry and the law, keeping people safe, conflict management, communication and customer care, and physical intervention. For a first licence you must have gained the qualification within the last three years when you apply.
How to revise
The assessment rewards understanding the law, your powers and their limits, and how to de-escalate conflict, not memorising definitions. Work each topic in study mode, then sit timed mocks. PassNova's SIA Door Supervisor practice explains every answer — 168 questions, 100% free, no sign-up.
