Who Requires these Qualifications?

Any person who wishes to renew a licence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA) to work as a Close Protection Operative.


This bundle is designed for learners who currently hold a licence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA) to work as a close protection operative and need to be brought up to date with the new licence-linked qualification requirements. 


The FAAW qualification is specifically for those looking to become a first-aider in the workplace or renew their qualification. This course is valid for 3 years and will give you the skills to meet the requirements of both the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 and the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1982.

Renewing your Licence


  • Your SIA licence will not renew automatically. You must apply for a renewal if you want to keep working in the same role when your current licence expires. 
  • Once you have completed the top-up course, it will take 2-3 weeks for your certificate to be sent and SIA informed - you still need to apply it is not automatic. 
  • You can apply to renew your licence 4 months before your current licence expires. You should submit your renewal application as soon as you can.
  • Applying early gives the SIA more time to process your application, which reduces the risk of you being unlicensed and unable to work. You will not lose time on your new licence by renewing early.
  • The SIA will add any time left on your current licence onto your new one. Your new licence will be valid from the day the SIA grant it.
