There’s a vast array of training programs around that profess to offer reliable qualifications, but there are few that can claim a 99% pass rate and provide flexible in-depth scenario based courses like Get Licensed UK. Distance learning has its benefits, but there is no better structure to a course than what amounts to expert on-the-job training in small manageable classes that guarantee individual attention and first-class support. It’s these considerations that make Get Licensed UK’s programs so successful.

Re-training is a proven way to increase your career expectations and the security industry has the highest growth rate of recruitment opportunities in the UK with thousands of vacancies currently available throughout the country. All that stands in your way to secure one of these rewarding positions is your SIA Licence.

The fundamental elements of any training are the tutors. Get Licensed UK’s expert coaches are drawn from key sectors of the security industry and they are all specialists in their fields. In addition to their expertise they manage the courses to be as informative and as enjoyable as possible so you benefit from their experience and gain confidence as you learn.

At any of the thirty training centres in the UK you’ll find a flexible program to suit your needs so there’s no need to give up your present job to re-train, or use your holiday allowance to fulfil the training program – you can even attend some of the centres at the weekend. Most of the courses are spread over three days and then there will be your assessment day. In most cases the examinations are made up of multiple choice written exams and a practical section where appropriate, like CCTV Training when you will be assessed on best practice equipment usage.

It’s easy to understand, that given that much of your training relies on personal contact, or the use of equipment how the benefits of attending courses in person is not only advantageous but it also speeds up the process. Get Licensed UK do offer an e-learning option, log onto the site for more details, or ask one of the Learner Support Staff what are the best options for you when you book your course.

Once you have passed your training course you can then apply for your SIA Licence, but that doesn’t stop you from making job applications when you have received your results. Providing that you can prove that your application is pending this will not prohibit you from applying for vacancies in the industry. And remember that with a reputation like a course completed with Get Licensed UK on your application your submission won’t be overlooked – in fact the friendly team at Get Licensed UK will even help you search for vacancies in your area and assist you with your application for your SIA Licence.

To make the whole process easy to manage, your course results will be posted on the Get Licensed UK web site ten days after you have completed the exam and your certificates will be mailed to you. If you are already working in the industry you can add more qualifications to your existing ones by taking additional courses. For example if you are currently working as a Security Guard you could opt for CCTV Training and you may be able to complete the course faster based on your experience in the industry.

All you need to start training is to be eighteen years old or over and be a permanent resident of the UK. The whole process from class to career takes around six weeks in total. Remember it’s illegal to work in the security industry without your SIA Licence, and in order to maintain the high standards Get Licensed UK already have, with a reputable turn-over of in excess of 12,000 successful candidates every year we’ll ensure that the investment you make in your training will be well rewarded now and in the future. Good luck and we’re looking forward to hearing from you soon.
