Brett's Training Hub

SIA Licence Training in Folkestone

Brett's Training Hub is a training centre based on Sandgate Road, Folkestone, focused on preparation for SIA (Security Industry Authority) licences and associated training and assessment services. Its offering is aimed at individuals who need to obtain or renew credentials in the private security sector, as well as organisations that require trainers, invigilators or IQA assessors.

SIA Licence Courses and Support

The centre delivers training for various SIA licences. Among the questions addressed in its FAQ section, it explains that an SIA licence is valid for three years, after which a refresher course is required, except in the case of CCTV licences. It also explains that a Door Supervisor licence holder can switch to Security Officer by completing a specific refresher course, while the reverse, from Security Officer to Door Supervision, requires the full six-day course.

To attend an SIA course, individuals must have a valid first aid qualification (minimum Emergency First Aid at Work, not applicable to CCTV licences), have completed the ACT Awareness and ACT Security e-learning modules within one year, and present two forms of ID (one with a photograph), a passport photo and prior learning from module 1. Failure to provide these requirements prevents access to the course.

The centre also provides guidance on other conditions: learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or dyscalculia do not prevent obtaining a licence, and awarding organisations and providers offer reasonable adjustments. Regarding language, applicants must demonstrate English proficiency, even if it is not their first language, through an assessment or a recognised qualification, such as a B2 level from the Home Office list or an ESOL qualification; on the day of the course a reading and writing test is carried out and, during practical assessments, it is necessary to write an incident report.

Professional Services and Training Space

In addition to courses, Brett's Training Hub offers trainer, invigilator and IQA assessor services. It has its own training space that can also be hired, as indicated by the centre itself.
