4.9 / 5.0 ★★★★★
★★★★★“Passed first time! The trainers broke down the physical intervention techniques really well and the First Aid was a great bonus included in the price. Couldn't have asked for a better 6 days.”
★★★★★“I was nervous about the conflict management and physical intervention parts, but the trainer made it very easy to understand. Having First Aid included saved me money. Highly recommend SGS Security Training.”
★★★★★“Brilliant course. The 6 days were intense but the trainers kept it engaging the whole time. I got my SIA licence within 4 weeks of finishing. Already working in corporate security. Worth every penny!”
★★★★★“I booked the UK training venue location and it was perfect for me. The trainer explained licensing law and search procedures clearly things I was unsure about. First Aid training on Day 5 was really practical and useful.”
★★★★★“Great value £350 for the full Level 2 plus First Aid is unbeatable across the UK. The exam preparation on the last day was really thorough and I felt fully confident walking into the assessments. Passed all 4 exams.”
★★★★★“I came in with zero security experience and left feeling fully prepared. The conflict management module alone is worth the course fee those skills apply everywhere in life. My SIA badge arrived within 3 weeks.”
