The package is designed for success

“The package is designed for success. In my door supervisor course and CCTV Operator course, I met an amazing set of instructors who use field and class experiences to build your courage and bring you excellent performance”

Highly recommended

“Highly recommended. I did the DS and CCTV courses within two weeks of each other. Both the tutors were engaging and very experienced and knowledgeable in their field. Despite both courses being relatively short, I feel they pack in a lot of material. There are also lots of practical activities that help prepare you for front line security work. Once again, I high recommend training with Get Licensed!”

Good Experience

“Registration on the Guard pass app was very easy and straightforward. Booking for training and exam was seamless. My exam trainer is a professional, he is learned and understood the course very well. It made my understanding very fast.

Really good course, great trainer

“Really good course and fantastically delivered by Shaun in Durham. I've been in the licensed trade for three decades and have learned a ridiculous amount this week !! The content was engaging throughout and kept relevant with Shaun's vast experience and real-life scenarios. Top level training, thank you.”

I have been working in security for 30…

“I have been working in security for 30 years starting with 10 years as a full time door supervisor and then 20 years in house NHS security officer in a busy city centre hospital with a war zone called A&E Since leaving I needed to get my SIA . This course is really good and it’s far from an attend course you need to apply yourself and it will give you the grounding to be a first class operative to start a career and progress in security. Great trainer in Dave Watts a first class instructor and man. This course is first class and Get Licensed make booking, learning a great experience”

A door supervisor is responsible for maintaining order and ensuring the safety of customers and staff at licensed premises like pubs, clubs, and events. They're trained to handle conflict, check IDs, perform security checks, and deal with emergencies.

Yes, you must have a valid SIA Door Supervisor licence, to legally work in this role. Completing the Door Supervisor training course is the first step to getting licensed.

The course typically takes 6 days to complete. This includes classroom learning and practical assessments.

Once you pass, you’ll receive a certificate to apply for your SIA licence. You can then legally work as a door supervisor in the UK. Many learners also get access to job opportunities through platforms like GuardPass.

You must:
  • Be 18 years or older
  • Have a valid Right to Work in the UK
  • Have a good standard of spoken and written English
  • Complete Emergency First Aid at Work training before starting the course.

There are four units in the Door Supervisor course syllabus, each with its own assessment. You'll need to achieve a minimum of 70% in the first three multiple-choice exams and 80% in the fourth one. You’ll also need to complete the physical intervention practical assessment and demonstrate safe techniques.

Earnings for door supervisors in the UK depend on your location, experience, and the type of role. On average, pay ranges from £11 to £23 per hour for general security and door work. Specialist roles, such as close protection, can pay significantly more, often between £50 and £100 per hour.

Door supervisors are needed in a variety of settings, including nightclubs, bars, hotels, and event venues. They also work in retail security, corporate offices, music festivals, stadiums, and other high-footfall public spaces.
