The SIA are the regulators that have set the minimum requirement. The training is intended to give operatives safe skills to deal with the most common scenarios that have been tested in coroners’ courts and are constantly under review.

Being an SIA Approved Model Provider, we can offer you the Fast track Option, offering savings in both time and cost provided you have completed the Principles of Terror Threat Awareness and Security online modules via ACT E-learning and ACT E-learning (Security).

Here's a summary of the requirements for the Security Industry Authority (SIA) 'Top-up' Training that came into effect October 2022:

Eligibility Requirements!

📌SIA Licence: You must currently possess an SIA licence or have completed your initial training within the last 3 years.

📌Literacy and Communication: Effective communication and literacy in its broadest sense describes "particular ways of thinking and talking about as well as doing, reading and writing" with the purpose of understanding or expressing thoughts or ideas orally and in written form in some specific context.

📌Language Proficiency: Assessments are in English and training centres will need to confirm your fluency.

📌First Aid: A current First Aid certificate compliant with HSE Regulations 1981 is mandatory.

💡If your First Aid certificate is nearing its expiration with less than 12 months, you have the option to upskill to the QA FREC L3 for an additional £195. This upskilling course will be carried out in the initial two days prior to beginning the CP Top Up modules. Consequently, you'll be able to finish the full course in just 5 days instead of 6💡

This course is shaped to ensure that Close Protection Operatives are not only prepared for their roles but also for responsibilities that go beyond just escort and residential security.
