Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors in the Private Security Industry (Birmingham)
The SIA Level 2 Door Supervisor Course in Birmingham is a mandatory 6-day OFQUAL-regulated qualification required to work as a licensed door supervisor or security officer in the UK. Cost is £600 (inc. VAT & First Aid). It qualifies you for all UK security sectors, including corporate offices, construction projects, retail, and licensed entertainment venues.
The Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors is the most versatile and widely respected entry qualification in the UK private security industry. Unlike a basic Security Guarding licence, holding a Door Supervisor licence allows you to work across the entire security spectrum—from corporate concierge desks and construction sites to bustling nightlife venues, music festivals, and sports stadiums.
Delivered at our Birmingham training facility by experienced security operations professionals, our course fully incorporates the latest 2026 SIA curriculum updates, including counter-terror awareness (ACT/Martyn's Law), enhanced physical intervention, and integrated Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW).
