You will be required to attend a training centre in Croydon, South London.

What will I learn?

This is a 12-day course (starting 29 January), which includes:

Customer service – how to deliver good customer service, health and safety, and how to interact with customers.
Employability skills – including how to give the best interview, looking for jobs based on your skills, and how to apply for jobs.
Door supervision – training provided by the SIA

What do I get at the end of the course?

You’ll earn yourself an official SIA badge, which shows you are certified to work within the security industry.

You’ll also be guaranteed a job interview with TSS Total Security Services – who supply security guards to retail stores across the UK. Interviews will be held in February.
