SIA licensing is a con you pay for your own training and on top of that cost you pay £245 to the SIA and just get a plastic badge. They do nothing for you just another way of the government getting more money from us
@milto01 And we get lashed from all sides now - the numpties are giving us a hard time as they have learned the loop holes and the SIA - Police are taking badges away: We need more of the old powers but its the way things are I sympathise with you - maybe with the new Gov ??
Think politically correct, the advice that I was given and it helped, imagine you were going to court, this helps in the 'conflict management' so no answers like 'throw him off the building' instead you asked the X to walk out & gave three clear warnings before you guided him OUT (not through) the door - he struggled so I put him in a restraint - think like this, answers will be easy as they are multi choice, 2 will be wrong & 1will be a misleading & 1will be the correct one - good luck
@lslinger sorry no - I used to know some guys from Manchester - but the last couple of years been working Brighton, Portsmouth and inbetween in Retail, Static and Doorwork. Good luck I hope by now you have gotten used to the ways of the doormen and are doing well :-) Welcome to our world.....
@ht1info Im not working, I got the funds for the licence and sent the stuff in but because I was living outside the UK for a period I had to send papers from the police in that country. They never sent me a letter to tell me this, only after the time frame had expired in which I could send in those papers do I receive a letter from them saying I have to put in a new application with another £250 FUCK THEM!
@lslinger Sorry to hear that - its a bit harsh maybe a visit to CAB to get your money back or time extension - seems a reasonable request on your part if your in another country I thought they would have given you some leeway but obviously jobworths with no real power - cheers for keeping in touch I think its a bit over priced myself with no grand father rights and they are adding stuff an changing it all around again...

What you need to be a Doorman? you forgot to mention having a good head on your shoulders and that you got to be in it for the right reasons.
Lets face it there are loads of plums out there that can easily get badged up and want some PT work.
Its not just any old job, it takes a particular type to do the job properly and professionally.
Its sad that the industry has opened up to these plums that all their looking for is PT work.
If you try it, and don't like it then go elsewhere.

Very informative video, with good humour and images. The shadow of the figure is clever too.
