For SIA door supervisor and security guard training, you need at least an Emergency First Aid at Work qualification before you start.

Your certificate must have at least 12 months left, and your training must include the extra bleeding and airway skills required by the SIA.

A First Aid certificate is separate from your security licence.

Check Your SIA First Aid Requirements

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is the usual minimum starting point for the relevant SIA training. The required content also includes life-threatening bleeding and keeping airways open, beyond the standard EFAW syllabus.

  • Practical assessment must be face to face.
  • Your certificate needs at least 12 months remaining when that training begins.
  • The extra bleeding and airway training includes techniques such as tourniquets and haemostatic dressings.

Full First Aid at Work (FAW) adds training in a wider range of injuries and illnesses, but is not automatically required simply because you work in security.
