For those holding an SIA Close Protection Licence you will be aware the SIA has stipulated that all CP licence holders must complete a Top Up course before their renewal.

We are holding a CP Upskilling course from Tuesday 22nd April until Friday 25th April at:

Units 61/62,
4 Balloo Drive,
Bangor,
Co Down,
BT19 7QY.
UK

Before joining this course you will need to have a minimum of FAW with a full 12 months to run on the starting date of 22nd April 2025.

Everyone also needs to complete the ACT training within a month of the starting date, as Awarding Bodies won't accept any ACT training dated before this date.

We can supply the link for Act training and you will need to produce the certificate on completion a week before the day the Upskilling course starts.

If you require an FAW course, we are running a course on the 10th/11th of April with online training before then.
