SIA Licensing?? Cost

[Digsy 10]

Do you have the qualification to get the badge?

If not give safehouse security a call, they have some good rates for the qualification.

 

The license itself costs £245.

Slightly off topic, but what is the rate of pay for a doorman?

Yeah it's about £8 an hour. I'm not one but as a club DJ I do work with many.

Well the agencies charge the club/bar circa £12-13 for staff and £14-17 for head door.

 

What your final cut is depends who you work for.

I work at the O2 academy and its £10 per hour and you can work once you have had your application approved while your waiting for it to arrive provided the company you work for is an SIA accredited company but it only normally takes a few days once you have been accepted

[Panthera 10]

been told the going rates are £8.50 to £10 an hour depending on experience

but you can start work as soon as you're registered as far as I know.

 

Only if you are employed by a company that is an "approved contractor".

 

If not, you cannot work until the Licence is in your possession.

[Mondeo Man 10]

AND you are working for a company that is registered with the SIA.

 

All Security companies are "registered with the SIA".

 

I think you mean a company that is an "approved contractor"

[Bacon_Sarnie 10]

Its all a moot point as the SIA is more than likely being scrapped.
