In compliance with new SIA CP qualification requirements from 1 April 2022.
This qualification is intended for individuals who work or want to work as a Close Protection Operator (CPO) in the Private Security Industry and require an SIA Frontline Close Protection (CP) Licence to Practice.
It is the aim of BSC to train people for the realities of operating within the United Kingdom and to dispel the myths, rumours and falsehoods that exist within the industry relating to CP. We train people to operate in the UK environment and include training days in Central London where the vast majority of CP within the UK takes place.
As from 1 April 2022 and in compliance with the SIA it will also allow for licence integration whereby individuals can also work as a Door Supervisor (DS) without any need for a future ‘Top-Up’ course or a separate SIA Door Supervisor licence.

This qualification is aimed at individuals aged 18 years and over who are able to undertake the roles and responsibilities of a CPO.
Due to the nature of the role of a CPO during the course of their work, it is likely they will be required to make calls to the emergency services or need to communicate to resolve conflict. It is therefore essential that CPOs are able to communicate effectively.
Potential course candidates should as a minimum have English language skills (reading, writing, speaking & listening) equivalent to one the following, which will need to be evidenced:
In addition, Candidates should also be physically capable of undertaking the more practical assessments in a range of environments. It is worthy of note that when applying for an SIA Licence part of the process includes a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) criminality check. It is recommended that candidates with concerns should use the Criminal Record Indicator available on the SIA website prior to enrolling for this qualification to ascertain if they are likely to achieve licenced status.
The SIA requires candidates to hold an appropriate Level 3 medical qualification as a minimum when they apply for their SIA Close Protection Licence. This course includes the appropriate medical qualification that is required to apply for the SIA CP Frontline licence, however should any potential candidate already hold or believe they hold an appropriate medical qualification there is only a requirement to attend the CP course.
