- Important: If you hold a Door Supervisor badge, you can attend a Top-Up course up to 4 months before expiry and apply for a renewal within 3 years after your badge expires.
If you hold a Door Supervisor badge, you can take a Top-Up course up to four months before it expires to stay updated on new regulations, conflict management, and terrorism awareness. This ensures your skills remain current and compliant with industry standards. If your badge expires, you have up to three years to apply for a renewal without retaking the full Door Supervisor course. However, after this period, you must complete the full training again. Staying proactive with renewal helps maintain continuous eligibility for security roles and avoids unnecessary retraining.

Conflict resolution teaches communication skills to de-escalate disputes professionally, manage aggression, and follow legal procedures when dealing with difficult situations. Workplace safety covers health and safety regulations, fire prevention, risk assessments, and emergency evacuation procedures to ensure a secure environment for staff and the public.

The SIA Security Guard Top-Up Course is designed for existing security guards who need to renew their SIA license and stay compliant with updated industry regulations.
