Course Overview
This refresher course is designed for people who have previously held an SIA licence and are approaching the end of their current 3-year licence period. It is a top-up course to refresh knowledge, update standards, and extend the licence for another 3 years.
Important: An SIA licence is valid for 3 years, then the licence holder must complete the SIA refresher before expiry to keep working and reset the 3-year cycle. You must also hold a valid First Aid at Work qualification, which is also valid for 3 years and needs renewing alongside the licence cycle.
- Current standards and professional expectations
- Conflict management and safe response techniques
- Operational awareness and customer-focused conduct

- Fast, practical update tailored to today’s role

Why Refresh?
Security environments change quickly. A refresher keeps your licence and core skills current, sharp, and aligned with best practice, while ensuring you remain compliant with licence and first aid requirements.
