If your SIA Door Supervisor Licence is due to expire, this course is essential.
The Top-Up Refresher Training ensures you stay compliant with the latest industry standards and fully equipped to meet modern security challenges.

This revised course replaces the old “Top-Up” with updated content, new modules, and advanced skills training — all delivered over 2 days.

To reflect the latest threats and responsibilities in security work, the course now includes:

• Terror Threat Awareness

These additions are now mandatory for licence renewal, and they ensure you can confidently protect yourself, your colleagues, and the public.

📊 Old Top-Up vs. New Top-Up – What’s Changed?

❓ Why Do I Need It If I’m Already Experienced?

Even if you’ve worked in the industry for years, security threats have evolved.
The Top-Up Refresher isn’t just about ticking a box — it’s about staying sharp, updated, and confident in today’s security environment.

You’re not just renewing your licence — you’re reinforcing your ability to protect others and respond effectively to new and emerging risks.

📅 Course Duration & Options

Both courses are classroom-based — there’s currently no online version available due to the practical nature of the training.
