Highfield Level 2 Award for Security Officer in the Private Security Industry (Top Up)

Trident Manor Training Academy is proud to be the first Highfield Accredited Centre in the UK to offer the security sector this future (from 1st October 2021) regulatory required training for existing Security Officers. The training is delivered at our base in the North East of England and delivered by our expert instructors who are highly qualified and renowned for their delivery of licensed security activities within the private security industry in the UK and Globally.

About the ’Top Up’ Programme

As of April 2021, the SIA made changes to the training requirements for licensed Security Officers operating in the Private Security Industry. These changes have resulted in the introduction of new content for the training modules in order to continue the professionalisation of the security sectors.

Where a Security Officer already has an existing license to operate within the sector, they must undertake this Level 2 Award for Security Officers in the Private Security Industry (Top Up) qualification before the 1st of October 2021 in order to continue to legally deliver security services. A failure to undertake this training (and that for door supervisors) will result in licenses being invalidated.

The programme consists of a self-study element which will be issued 7 days prior to the course start date and classroom-based theoretical delivery. Once registered a full set of joining instructions will be issued alongside self-study learning materials and further details about the course.

The Trident Manor Training Academy team looks forward to welcoming you to this and we hope many of our programmes are in support of the continued development of the security sector.

NOTE: This course is only for the existing SIA licence holders who require the ‘Top Up’ training. If you are not an existing SIA licence holder please do not apply, refunds will not be given. A failure to meet these entry requirements will result in you not being able to participate further and no refunds will be provided. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all of the legal requirements outlined above. If you are looking at obtaining a license as a door supervisor, visit the website of the Security Industry Authority for further information.
