To work as a door supervisor in the UK, you must hold a licence issued by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). This licence allows you to work in security roles at licensed venues, including nightclubs, bars, events, and other public spaces where safety and access control are required.

After successfully completing the Door Supervision training course and passing all assessments, you can apply for the SIA Door Supervisor licence. Once approved, the licence confirms that you meet the professional standards set by the SIA and are legally authorised to work in door supervision and related security roles across the UK.
