What you’ll learn in Door Supervisor refresher training

The refresher course updates your knowledge so you can continue working safely, legally and professionally as a Door Supervisor. The training focuses on current risks, personal safety, terror threat awareness and equipment awareness.

Self Study Requirements

Before attending your Door Supervisor Refresher course, you must complete the required self-study. This is a mandatory part of your training and must be completed at least 24 hours before your course starts.

Why choose the Premium Package?

The Premium Package is built for learners who want more than just a basic renewal. It is designed for Door Supervisors who want to renew confidently, protect themselves with stronger support, and add CCTV Operator training for better long-term opportunities.

Best for serious security professionals

Premium gives you the Door Supervisor Refresher, Emergency First Aid, unlimited retakes, priority support, SIA renewal guidance and the CCTV Operator course in one complete route.

Door Supervisor Refresher included

Complete the required refresher training needed to renew your Door Supervisor licence and keep working legally.

Emergency First Aid included

First Aid is required before refresher training. Premium includes it, helping remove a common booking problem for learners.

CCTV Operator course included

Add another valuable security skill. CCTV can open doors into control rooms, monitoring roles, retail security operations and corporate security environments.

Priority exams and support

Where possible, we prioritise exam arrangements, retakes and support around times suited to you, helping you stay on track before, during and after training.

Same-day results

Most centres can leave learners waiting much longer for outcomes. At DS Education, results are usually provided the same day, with certificates usually issued the next working day where awarding body processing allows.

Unlimited retakes

Premium gives you stronger protection if something does not go to plan. You can focus on passing without the same level of stress around retake costs.

50% off your second SIA licence application

The SIA applies a 50% discount to additional licences in different sectors. It does not apply to renewing the same licence sector. Premium is a strong route because it includes CCTV training, helping you prepare for an additional licence route while making use of the second-licence saving where eligible.

How to renew your SIA Door Supervisor licence

Renewing your SIA licence is easier when you follow the correct order. Booking early helps avoid gaps in work and gives you time to complete training, certificate processing and the SIA renewal application.

1. Check your licence expiry date. Do not leave renewal until the last minute.
2. Check your First Aid. You need valid First Aid with at least 12 months remaining, or choose a package that includes it.
3. Book your Door Supervisor Refresher course. Choose a date and package that matches your needs.
4. Complete your self-study. This must be completed before attending the course.
5. Attend training and pass the assessment. Results are usually provided the same day.
6. Receive your certificate. Certificates are usually issued the next working day where processing allows.
7. Apply for renewal through the SIA. Complete the SIA renewal process and checks.

Downgrade to Security Officer

If you no longer need Door Supervisor work, you may be considering switching to a Security Officer licence instead. This can suit learners who only want static guarding, corporate security, retail security, concierge, warehouse or front-of-house guarding roles.

Considering the Security Officer refresher route?

The Security Officer licence is more limited than Door Supervisor, but it may be the right route if you are certain you do not need door work, licensed venue work, nightlife, bars, clubs or certain event roles.

Door Supervisor licence

Broader licence route. Suitable for door supervision, licensed venues, events and many guarding roles.

Security Officer licence

Narrower licence route. Suitable for security guarding work, but not door supervision at licensed premises.

When it may make sense

If you only want static guarding, corporate security, retail security, concierge, warehouse or front-of-house guarding roles.

What to check first

Check the type of work you want, what employers require, and whether the narrower licence could limit your job options.

Important advice

Do not downgrade just to save money unless you are sure you no longer need Door Supervisor permissions. Door Supervisor is usually the broader route and can keep more job options open.

Next steps

Choose the package that suits your renewal, select your preferred date, and secure your refresher spot. If you are unsure whether you need Single, Standard, Gold, Premium or a Security Officer route, speak to us before booking.

• Choose Single if you already have valid First Aid and only need the refresher.
• Choose Standard if you need refresher training plus Emergency First Aid.
• Choose Gold if you want stronger renewal support, unlimited retakes and licence guidance.
• Choose Premium if you want the complete route with CCTV progression and maximum long-term value.
