SIA licence, Where to start?

BERFFRO

I have been thinking about trying to get a SIA licence as there are a lot of jobs for security around my way. I was going to ask at the jobcentre but i have found myself a job now so hopefully i wont have to see the inside of the centre for a while. What i want to know is how would i go about in getting the licence? Google wasn't much help!

I've had a look on there website cant see any info on their, but it's only a short course though so it might not be advertised on the site. Hopefully i'll be able to use the £100 credit i still have with them:)

You will need to do one of the qualifying courses which will cost about £100 and is 2 days. After this apply for a licence which is about £235. Then you are qualified to be a knob on a door who sleazes on teenagers.

but a qualified knob! talking to some peeps on my cctv course, they were doing door licence, and liquor one too- a lot of health and safety, personal behaviour etc goes into it now.
