Get Licensed

Get Licensed is a UK training and staffing platform for the private security sector. Since 2007, the company says, it has connected people seeking qualifications with training providers and employers with candidates. The service combines course booking, digital study resources, and job-search tools rather than operating from a single public academy.

A core part of the offering is training for SIA licenses. Courses include door supervision, security guarding, CCTV operation, and refresher training for people renewing qualifications. The platform lets users search dates and partner locations, compare in-person and virtual options, and book based on each provider’s availability.

The catalog also covers first aid, personal alcohol-licensing courses, and construction training tied to the CSCS card. Practice exams and study guides help learners prepare before an assessment. Each course has its own requirements and duration, so the booking page provides the details that apply to the selected program.

For students who prefer in-person instruction, Get Licensed works with more than 85 training locations across the country, including cities such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham. These venues belong to partner providers rather than a single company-owned chain. The search tool lets users look by city or postal code and check which courses and dates are available nearby.

The digital side brings together bookings, learning materials, mock exams, and course management. The company also offers an app connected to study resources and a platform where students can access information related to their preparation. The experience is organized around each course and provider: instructors deliver the training, and qualifications are assessed through the applicable process.

The portal includes a service for security employers that need to hire or train staff. Employers can post openings and search for licensed candidates, while workers can find permanent positions or temporary shifts. That connection between training and the next career step explains Get Licensed’s combined course and staffing offer.

The company says more than 450,000 people have used its platform to book training. Its practical value is bringing different subjects, providers, and locations into one search, with both in-person and virtual options. Because each venue belongs to a partner, students should check the exact address shown on their booking before traveling.
