How SIA Training Courses Have Changed Venue Safety

SIA training is a vital component of the British. This term of course has been superceded with the name doorman or door supervisor and the old image of big burly men standing outside looking menacing is an image rapidly in decline. In fact, woman door staff are in ever increasing demand as they are deemed a far more friendly face when greeting guests into a venue.

With good door superviser training, the emphasis is heavily put onto conflict resolution without the need for forceful control to ever be required. In fact, the best form of security 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 patrons and the door staff.

The raising of standards over the years is because of SIA training which has been made compulsory for all door staff wanting a career in door supervision. Whilst an initial burden, it does put those qualified into the very best position to get long term employment in an improved working environment.

Door Supervision courses are available throughout the UK and by and large involve a three or four days of coaching and include a written examination. Once passed, the participant is able to apply for their SIA badge and subsequently is licenced to gain employment either permanently or on a part time basis for one of the hundreds of venues which need door staff on a regular basis throughout the UK.
