SIA Close Protection Courses

In an industry where quick reactions and effective decisions are everything, being comprehensively trained can be lifesaving. Orchid Risk offers an outstanding SIA Close Protection course that will give you a huge advantage over would be security risks.

This qualification grants you access to undertake licensable activities as a close protection operative. Therefore our close protection courses will enable you to accept contracts to supply your services to a customer. The only exception are contractors registered with the SIA, Security Industry Authorisation, as they are given approved contractor status. The company in question must also adhere to the conditions of Section 4(4) of the Approved Contactors Scheme.

Without the SIA course we provide, a standard SIA licence doesn’t cover the requirements for working protection. Under the Private Security Industry Authority Act 2001, any individual must have the correct accredited and SIA recognised course certificates. The enforcement and consequences of failing to hold or maintain the correct licences can result in up to six months in prison and a £5000 fine. Orchid Risk offers a complete SIA course at competitive prices, so you can avoid those repercussions with ease and become fully licenced in under two weeks.

For those who have already completed a full course previously, a refresher course is available, and our team can provide fast track SIA courses that only take three days. All of our instructors are fully qualified with highly credible backgrounds in British Special Forces and Elite Police.

Not everything you see is black and white, so being prepared for as many eventualities as possible will always be advantageous. Our 12 day course will include:
