Why SIA licensing?

The first reason is that SIA licensing is now mandatory, without it you cannot seek employment in the security sector. Secondly it is a welcomed license from those working in the industry, as it helps raise standards previously missing in the industry.

With SIA licensing in place security personnel adhere to strict guidelines and work to a national standard. Employers of security personnel must also maintain standards and monitor compliance to SIA guidelines.
