At Amba Training, we offer fully accredited Door Supervisor training in London, designed to give you the skills and confidence you need to succeed in the security industry.
What Is the SIA Door Supervisor Course?
The SIA Door Supervisor course is a Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors, regulated by Ofqual and approved by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). Therefore, completing this course is a legal requirement before you can apply for your SIA Door Supervisor licence.
The course covers two main areas:
- Working as a Door Supervisor — including conflict management, physical intervention, and legal responsibilities
- First Aid — because door supervisors must hold a valid first aid qualification
Furthermore, upon successful completion, you can apply directly to the SIA for your licence, which allows you to work legally at venues across the UK.

What Does the Course Cover?
The SIA Door Supervisor course in London covers the following units:
Unit 1 — Working in the Private Security Industry
This unit introduces you to the legal framework of the security industry. As a result, you will understand your responsibilities, the law, and how to conduct yourself professionally on the door.
Unit 2 — Working as a Door Supervisor in the Private Security Industry
This is the core unit of the course. Therefore, you will learn the specific responsibilities of a door supervisor, including how to manage entry and exit points, conduct searches legally, and handle challenging situations professionally.
Unit 3 — Conflict Management in the Private Security Industry
Because conflict is an everyday reality in door supervision, this unit teaches you proven techniques for de-escalating situations verbally and professionally, minimising the need for physical intervention.
Unit 4 — Physical Intervention Skills in the Private Security Industry
Where physical intervention is necessary, this unit teaches you how to use approved techniques safely and legally. Furthermore, you will learn how to minimise risk to yourself, colleagues, and members of the public.
How Long Does the Course Take?
The SIA Door Supervisor course duration depends on the delivery method chosen:
With Self-Study:
The SIA requires that training, delivery and assessment takes place over a minimum of 6 days (42 hours). Furthermore, each day of training, delivery and assessment must not exceed 8 hours.
Without Self-Study:
If self-study is not used, the course must be delivered over 7 days (52 hours). Additionally, each day of training, delivery and assessment must not exceed 8 hours.
At Amba Training, our team will advise you on the best delivery method to suit your learning style and schedule. Therefore, whichever option you choose, you can be confident that your training meets all SIA requirements.
After completing the course, you will need to apply to the SIA for your licence, which typically takes 4 to 6 weeks to process.
