The SIA Door Supervisor Level 2 Qualification is one of our most demanding qualifications for individuals seeking to work in the private security industry. This qualification allows individuals to work in roles involving licensed premises where alcohol is served publicly. A Door Supervisor can perform all the duties of a Security Guard, whereas a Security Guard cannot work as a Door Supervisor. The training is highly beneficial as it not only opens doors to employment in the thriving security sector but also builds confidence, communication, and problem-solving skills.
