There are so many disciplines within the industry, just choosing what type of security officer you want to be can be problematic. Then of course there is knowing exactly what steps you must take to achieve the relevant SIA licence.

Also many of you who are already working in the field and have completed your SIA training, may want to receive additional training to further your career. We can help here too. If you do not know what your options are, we can help you decide what additional training is available, and where to get it from.

What’s Unique About the SIA Licence Hub?

There are a lot of resources available online about how to complete your training and gain your SIA Licence. The most comprehensive being the SIA government website. That is a great resource, however like most government agency websites, it lacks a personal touch and can be quite user-unfriendly. In fact, with many of the available SIA based websites can leave you even more confused than when you arrived.

Our goal is to make this website as streamlined and as easy as possible for you to follow. We want to walk you through the entire process so you can focus on gaining your licence and landing that new security role.
