With the SIA expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks regarding additional training requirements for Door Supervisors, an exam awarding body says it’s ready with the qualification and supporting learning materials.
Debbie Mallinson, Qualifications Development Manager at Industry Qualifications (IQ) said: “The new qualification is titled the IQ Level 2 Award for Upskilling Door Supervisors, and comprises two units; Safety Awareness for Door Supervisors, which has been written by IQ for all of the awarding bodies in the sector, and the existing Physical Intervention Skills for the Private Security Industry”. The Safety Awareness unit comprises issues such as counter terrorism issues, first aid and legislation regarding children and young people within the context of door supervision. IQ will provide a free self-study package for this unit which will be downloadable for IQ centres. The Physical Intervention unit will be completed in the same way and under the same conditions as within the current Door Supervision qualification, but those who have already completed the unit will not need to repeat it.”
IQ adds that ts Level 2 Award for Upskilling Door Supervisors – 600/5750/6 meets the SIA requirement for top-up training for relevant door supervisors. For details of the IQ offer, ring the IQ customer support team on 01952 457452 or email [email protected]
