SIA training is an integral part of the British. This term of course has been superceded with the name doorman or door supervisor and it is part of the overall strategy to move away from the old image of tough mean and large looking men providing unregulated security and moving towards ways of avoiding the likelihood of any trouble occurring in the first instance. In fact, female door staff are in ever increasing demand as they are deemed a far more friendly face when meeting people into a venue.

With good door supervisor training, the emphasis is on conflict resolution without the need for forceful control to ever be required. In fact, the best form of ensuring safety at any venue is to be aware of the dangers long before they are ever allowed to develop into anything which can pose a risk to patrons and the door staff.

The raising of standards over the years is because of SIA training which has been made obligatory for all door staff wanting a career in door supervision. Whilst an initial burden, it does put those people who do get qualified into a superb position to get long term employment in an improved working environment.

Door Supervision courses are available throughout the UK and usually include a three or four days of training and include a written examination. Once passed, the participant is able to apply for their SIA badge and subsequently is legally allowed to provide security and protection for one of the thousands of venues which need door staff on a regular basis throughout the UK.
