- Work in pubs, clubs, bars, events or licensed premises
- Work as an event security professional

What Does the SIA Door Supervisor Refresher Course Cover?
Our refresher training is designed to bring your existing knowledge and practical skills up to date.
The course includes key areas relevant to modern Door Supervisor work, including:
Conflict Management
Refresh your ability to recognise, assess and manage conflict before situations escalate.
Training reinforces professional communication, de-escalation techniques, personal safety and appropriate responses to challenging behaviour.
Physical Intervention
The course includes practical training in the current SIA-approved physical intervention techniques required for Door Supervisors.
This focuses on using appropriate techniques safely, proportionately and within the limits of your training.
Safety and Risk Awareness
Door Supervisors routinely work in environments where risks can change quickly.
The refresher course reinforces the importance of dynamic risk assessment, situational awareness, safe working practices and recognising potential hazards.
Professional Door Supervision
Refresh your understanding of the responsibilities associated with working as a professional Door Supervisor.
This includes maintaining professional standards, dealing appropriately with customers and colleagues, recording incidents and understanding your responsibilities when working within licensed premises and events.
Current Legislation and SIA Requirements
The security industry continues to change, so refresher training provides an opportunity to revisit relevant legislation, SIA requirements and current industry expectations.
This helps ensure that your knowledge remains relevant rather than relying solely on practices learned several years ago.

If your first aid qualification has expired or does not meet the required criteria, you may need to complete an appropriate first aid qualification before attending your Door Supervisor refresher training.
AMP Training can advise you on the requirements if you are unsure whether your existing first aid qualification is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Door Supervisor Top-Up Course the same as a refresher course?
“Top-up” is a term that has traditionally been used within the UK security industry to describe additional training required by existing security professionals when renewing their SIA licence. However, the SIA has since introduced its refresher training requirements, which have replaced the previous top-up training arrangements.
Although you may still hear security professionals referring to these courses as “top-ups”, the correct current terminology is SIA refresher training. This is the training security professionals must complete to meet the SIA’s current licence renewal requirements.
Can I renew my SIA Door Supervisor licence without refresher training?
If you are renewing an existing Door Supervisor licence, you will generally need to hold the required full licence-linked qualification and the relevant Door Supervisor refresher qualification.
