Our Training Hub gives every officer a personal record of completed courses, scores and certificates, and gives managers one dashboard to prove it.

  • Final exam on every course, no tick-box, watch-and-forget content
  • Printable certificates with QR verification, valid 12 months

FAQ

Security training questions, answered.

Do these courses replace SIA licence-linked training?

No. SIA licence-linked qualifications must be taken through SIA-endorsed awarding organisations. Our courses are original CPD-style compliance and refresher training that sit alongside your licence, the kind of ongoing training ACS assessors expect to see evidenced for every officer.

How quickly do officers get their certificates?

Immediately. Each course ends with a final exam; on passing, the officer downloads a printable certificate with a QR verification code, valid for 12 months.

How much does it cost to train a whole guarding team?

A business subscription is £30/month or £300/year and unlocks every course for unlimited employees, with a manager dashboard and downloadable compliance reports. Individual courses are £29.99 or less.

Is there a free course to try first?

Yes, the full BS 7858:2019 Security Screening & Vetting course is free, including the certificate. No signup or card is needed.
