How to become a security guard?

If you have decided to work in the security industry as a security guard you have to undergo the required training for security guarding. The security guard training course is a three day course in which there are three modules.

However we would suggest that doing the security guarding course you should go for the door supervisor course.

The reason for us to guide you in this particular way is because a door supervisor can perform all the duties that a normal security guard can do besides that he can also perform the duties of a door supervisor in a licence premises.

The sia licence fee is the same so why not get a security qualification that lets you do more rather than restricting yourself.

Agreed you might not want to a door supervisor in a licence premises but still you might change your mind at a later stage so then what would you do again waste money on training and then again apply for a sia security licence for door supervision so what is a wise ?
