There have been considerable
legislative changes affecting the security industry (Private Security
Act 2001). The legislation requires individuals working in the
sector to be licensed. The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is
responsible for licensing and has specified the criteria for obtaining
a licence, one of which is the achievement of a level 2 qualification.
The NOCN Level 2 Award in Door Supervision has been developed
to meet the training and licensing requirements of the SIA for
Door Supervisors.
The NOCN Level 2 Award in Door Supervision will contribute to
the promotion of professional standards in the sector and the
development of a fully qualified workforce of specialist operatives.
The qualification has
the support of:
- The Security Industry
Authority.
- SITO (the former
National Training Organisation for the secure environment).
- Training providers
for the industry
The design of the Award
is informed by a two year national pilot project run by NOCN in
partnership with SITO.
Who is this qualification
for?
- New
entrants to the industry.
- Current door supervisors
who require a licence and have no previous award/ qualification
which confers full or partial exemption.
- Current door supervisors
who are exempt from SIA Part 1 training (roles and responsibilities)
but who require both SIA Part 1 assessment and SIA Part 2 training
and assessment (communication and conflict management).
- Current Door Supervisors
who are exempt from SIA Part 1 training and assessment but who
require SIA Part 2 training and assessment (communication and
conflict management).
Candidates must
be a minimum of 18 years old to access this qualification.

The qualification
is knowledge-based and covers:
