Before you book
Is Licensing Solutions the training provider?
Some future courses may be delivered directly and others by partner training centres. Every listing states clearly who is delivering the course.
Are providers SIA approved?
The SIA does not approve training providers. Licence-linked training centres are approved by the relevant awarding organisation.
Does passing the course guarantee an SIA licence?
No. Passing the correct qualification is one part of the licensing route. The SIA applies its own identity, criminality and other licensing checks.
