Wonderful experience being trained by…
Asuenimhen Harrison
Nov 06, 2025

"Wonderful experience being trained by Ben McCarty. He knows his job very well. Give us the trainees opportunities to express ourselves, ask questions and respond to them accordingly. But he is sometimes too fast with words that some of us who are not English native speakers sometimes find it a little difficult to follow along. But he’s a great trainer."

Completed the DS Top up course with Get licensed and passed. Adame who trained us was great, very professional and down to earth guy. Even though he’s had various jobs and years of experience in security he just treats you like a equal, no better than anyone attitude which is good. Professional training by trainers who WANT you to pass not a back street company. Will be definitely back again for further training. Thank you.

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.
