SIA Door Supervisor and CCTV Course Bundle in Bethnal Green

The SIA Door Supervisor and CCTV Course London bundle puts two SIA licences into one booking at 465 Bethnal Green Road, E2 9QW. Six days of Door Supervisor training with first aid, then three days of CCTV. Nine days in, you have sat the exams for both licences.

Why Book Both Together

Booking the courses one at a time means a second payment, a second week off and a second set of joining instructions. The bundle removes all of that.

• One fee and one booking instead of two
• Both courses scheduled back to back at the same centre with the same trainers
• Lower total cost than booking the standalone courses separately
• Both courses finished in the same fortnight, so both licence applications can go to the SIA as soon as your results arrive
• Ready for door, guarding and control room work once both licences arrive

A Door Supervisor licence covers front-line and guarding roles. A CCTV licence covers control rooms and monitoring suites. Holding both gives you more choice of shifts and employers.

What You Get for £550

Everything below is included. Nothing is charged separately.

• Level 2 Award for Door Supervisors in the Private Security Industry, all four SIA units, taught face to face over six days
• Level 2 Award for CCTV Operators (Public Space Surveillance) in the Private Security Industry, all three units over three days
• Emergency First Aid, a half-day session on the morning of day one, required for the Door Supervisor licence
• All examinations, sat at the centre during the course
• Practical assessments for physical intervention, first aid and CCTV operation, marked by your trainer as you go
• Mock papers and revision before every exam
• Three certificates, so both licence applications are ready to submit

Payment: £150 deposit to book, £400 at the centre on day one.

How the Nine Days Run

Week 1, Monday to Saturday: Door Supervisor with first aid

Day one opens with your Emergency First Aid session in the morning (CPR, defibrillator, choking, bleeding, shock and burns). The rest of day one and days two and three cover the industry, the law and the role: licensing law, health and safety, searching and consent, refusals and reasonable force, drugs awareness, safeguarding and working with the emergency services. After that, day four moves on to conflict management, spotting triggers early and de-escalating before anything turns physical. Physical intervention follows on day five, covering the legal framework, positional asphyxia, disengagement, low-level holds and team intervention. Finally, day six is revision and your exams.

Week 2, Wednesday to Friday: CCTV Operator

The CCTV week opens with working in the private security industry as it applies to surveillance. Because this overlaps with Door Supervisor Unit 1, bundle learners start already ahead. Next comes the role itself: operator responsibilities, codes of practice, data protection and surveillance law, control-room communication, emergency procedures and system components. The final day is practical, so you operate cameras and control systems, track and record, keep logs and produce evidence to standard. Revision and exams then close the course.

The SIA sets minimum contact hours for both qualifications, which is why attendance on all nine days is mandatory.

Where You’ll Train

465 Bethnal Green Road sits toward the eastern end of the high street. Bethnal Green station on the Central line is a short walk, one stop from Liverpool Street and running straight out through Stratford, Leyton, Leytonstone and Woodford to Essex. Bethnal Green Overground is on the road itself, Cambridge Heath is close by, and buses run the length of Bethnal Green Road.

Shoreditch and its nightlife cluster are minutes to the west. The City boundary is just beyond. Hackney and the Lea Valley add warehouse, retail and site security to the north, and Stratford, with Westfield, the Olympic Park and the control rooms that serve them, is two stops east on the Central line.

What You Can Work As

With the Door Supervisor licence: pubs, bars and nightclubs, hotels and members’ clubs, concerts, festivals and stadiums, retail and shopping centres, construction gates, corporate reception. It also covers Security Guard roles, which a Security Guard licence does not do in reverse.

With the CCTV licence: control rooms at shopping centres, transport interchanges, local authority monitoring suites, housing estates, corporate campuses and event operations centres.

With both licences you can apply for door, guarding and control room jobs, and take shifts in either.

Who Can Book

You need to be 18 or over with the right to work in the UK. Bring photo identification and two proofs of address from the last three months.

No previous security experience is required. The SIA runs its own criminal record checks once you apply, and anyone who has spent six continuous months or more outside the UK in the last five years will need overseas checks too.

Attendance across all nine days is mandatory.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much is the SIA Door Supervisor and CCTV Course London bundle? £550 in total: £150 deposit to book, £400 at the centre on day one. That includes everything: both qualifications, first aid, all exams and three certificates.

2. Is the bundle cheaper than booking the two courses separately? Yes. The bundle price is lower than the standalone Door Supervisor and CCTV courses combined, and you make one booking rather than two.

3. How are the nine days scheduled? Door Supervisor runs Monday to Saturday. CCTV runs Wednesday to Friday of the following week. Both are 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, so the whole bundle is finished within two weeks.

4. Can I do the CCTV course first? The bundle runs Door Supervisor first, then CCTV. If you already hold a Door Supervisor licence, book the standalone CCTV course.

5. Do I need first aid for the CCTV licence? No. First aid is needed for Door Supervisor and Security Guard licences, not CCTV. It is included in the bundle.

6. Do I have to apply for both licences? No. You can apply for one or both. If you already hold one SIA licence, the SIA may charge a reduced fee for the second.

7. When do I get my results? Normally two to three weeks after your exams. Delays at the awarding bodies can make it longer, so we cannot promise an exact date.
