Structure of the SIA Top up security gaurd upskilling refresher training course

The qualification is made up two units which includes Terror Threat Awareness in the Private Security Industry, Safety Awareness for Security Officers module. The need for this qualification was felt because all those learners having previous qualifications did not do the terrorism threat awareness module which has been made a mandatory unit for the current security officers qualification or to refresh their skills after 3 years. Moreover First Aid training is compulsory before taking SIA security officer course and SIA Top up Security Guard and SIA Top up Security Guard course.
