SIA training is an integral part of the UK’s] government’s attempts to regulate and improve standards of full time doorman in bars, discos and other common places who rely on protecting their patrons from unruly behaviour.

It is no longer allowed for individuals to act as a “bouncer” (as it’s traditionally referred to) without the appropriate training and qualifications. This term of course has been replaced with the name doorman or door supervisor and it is part of the overall strategy to move away from the old image of tough mean and large looking men providing unregulated security and moving towards ways of avoiding the likelihood of any trouble occurring in the first instance. In fact, woman door staff are in ever increasing demand as they are deemed a far more friendly face when meeting people into a venue.

With good door supervisors training, the emphasis is on conflict resolution and removing any need for for forceful control to ever be required. In fact, the best form of ensuring safety at any venue is to be aware of any potential problems long before they are ever allowed to turn into the kind of situation which can pose a risk to both the people in the venue or the staff.

The raising of standards is largely down to the SIA licence training which has been made obligatory for all door staff wanting a career in door supervision. Whilst this is course an expense and large commitment at first, it does put those people who do get qualified into a superb position to get long term employment in an improved working environment.

Door supervisor courses are available throughout the UK and usually include a three or four days of training as well as a written examination. Once passed, the participant is able to apply for their SIA badge and from then on is licenced to gain employment either permanently or on a part time basis for one of the thousands of venues requiring their services throughout the United Kingdom.
