take a look at our flagship courses
Through expert commentary, practical explanations and real-world examples, our audio programmes bring course content to life, making complex subjects easier to understand, more relevant and memorable. Designed to complement our training courses, “Listen and Learn” enables students to reinforce their knowledge at their own pace, whether at home, travelling or during their daily routines. This approach encourages independent learning, develops critical thinking and strengthens knowledge retention, helping students build the understanding and confidence needed to apply what they have learned in practical situations.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Temporary Suspension of SIA Licence-Linked Training Courses
The Professional Bodyguard Association (PBA) wishes to advise all prospective learners, training partners and interested parties that all SIA licence-linked training courses have been temporarily suspended until further notice. This decision has been taken pending the publication by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) of the revised training and qualification requirements for SIA licensable activities, currently expected in February 2027.
Rather than enrolling learners onto courses that may shortly be subject to changes in qualification requirements, training content or assessment standards, the PBA considers it appropriate to await official confirmation of the new requirements. Once the SIA has published the relevant details, we will review our training programmes, make any necessary adjustments and announce revised course dates.
