Securi-Guard offers accredited security courses aimed at giving you the qualifications you need to obtain an SIA licence. The process involves a 4-day classroom course (minimum 28 hours of learning delivered).

The course is split in to 2 units, and a multiple choice examination is taken in both units, a pass rate of 70% or more is needed in both units to be successful and to attain the Accredited certificate from the awarding body (NOCN) National Open College Network.
