All Door Supervisors likely to need PHYSICAL INTERVENTION training to re-licence

With the advent of the new SIA licencing standards incorporating Physical Intervention Skills, the SIA have recommended (but not yet formalised) that all Door Supervisors who need licence re-approval after August 2010 will need to have passed an accredited course.

The final decision has yet to be made, however 'best practice' should dictate that all existing licence holders 'up grade' in line with all newly qualified Door Supervisors

Extra Mile run the accredited Maybo Physical Intervention training, which is a 1 day course covering Disengagement and Holding techniques. These techniques are non-aggressive and non-pain complaint and provided Door Supervisor Staff with 'more options' when dealing with escalating situations.

All candidates for this course will need to prove competency in Conflict Management Skills, usually in the form of a copy of their existing licence.

This course will be run from our training base in Norwich or as a private course at your own location.

'Open' courses are £85 per person. Check our courses page for details on booking or call/e-mail for more information.

*NEW STANDARDS Door Supervisor Course

June 1st sees the start of the 'new style' Door Supervisor SIA Licensing Course. All the licensing courses have been 're-vamped' with the CCTV and Guarding courses already in effect.

The new Doors course now incorporates Physical Intervention (PI) training and is completed after the Conflict Management unit. It provides the 'next step', what happens if someone grabs me? How do I escort a customer from a premises? PI covers Disengagement and Escorting techniques employing non-aggressive and non-pain compliant interventions.

The new course is a modular format and covers:

Part 1 Working in the Security Industry, this is the 'common' unit and is covered on all licensing courses. If you have already done this unit as part of the Guarding or CCTV course you will not need to re-do it.

Part 2 Working as a Door Supervisor (specialist unit)

Part 3 Communication and Conflict Management, like part 1 if you have completed this as part of the Guarding or CViT licence you will not need to re-do it.

Part 4 Physical Intervention Skills

The course, as before, will run over 4 days. There will be multiple choice exams for parts 1, 2, and 3 with part 4 (PI) assessed by the tutor.

The first of the new style courses will be run at the Royal British Legion in June, see course bookings for information on how to book.

Another Successful Door Supervisor Course

April 5th-8th We ran a Door Supervisor Course at the Royal British Legion Norwich. A very successful course with 100% pass rate and thoroughly enjoyed by the candidates. This was the first course we have run using the BIIAB. We utilised their comprehensive Door Supervisor books, which made a great change from endless handouts! The exam papers were posted to the BIIAB on Friday and we had the results by lunchtime on Monday. This will undoubtedly speed up the process for the guys to apply for their SIA Licence.

Well done to all on the course!

Mr L - Thanks ever so much, really enjoyed the course, will recommend it.
