Door Supervisor Training vs Security Guard Training
We’re often asked what the difference is between a Door Supervisor Licence and a Security Guard Licence. Luckily, the difference is easy to remember.
A Door Supervisor Licence allows you to work as a Door Supervisor and a Security Guard, while a Security Guard Licence only allows you to work in a Manned Guarding role.
The course runs over seven consecutive days, and it’s divided into eleven units and covers everything from the legal aspects of security to the latest physical intervention techniques.
