Communication can be used to solve problems and reduce the likelihood of conflict, the factors that influence human responses in conflict situations, how to assess and reduce risks in conflict situations, how to communicate effectively and de-escalate conflict in emotive situations and good practice to follow after conflict situations.

Effectively and safely managing upset, emotional or unpredictable people takes skill.

Making your working environment safer and more secure for yourself and clients when you use effective conflict management and personal safety skills.

Sometimes the need to get physical is a necessary last resort, normally to protect  or someone else. 

We teach you to be effectively prepared to safely deal with both.

Read the question carefully and then read all the answers carefully. Try elimination if the correct answer doesn’t immediately spring to you. Work out if you can, what the answer isn’t and then go from there. 

GuardPass is our industry-first app that not only allows you to book and manage your course but also gives you access to free mock tests. Lots of people prefer to use an app for quizzes and tests. And it’s also a great way to make use of your time. Sat on the bus for thirty minutes in the morning and evening? 

Then you can use that time efficiently to become study time. That means that your time is yours, having already put in an hour’s study today when you get in.

If all is well with your application, you can have your full licence in just a couple of weeks.

The expected wait time for an SIA licence to be sent is about 25 working days, but most people can expect their application back in approximately 6 weeks from submission. The SIA aims to process 80% of applications within this time frame.

WORKING IN CLOSE PROTECTION OR SECURITY WHILE WAITING FOR AN SIA LICENCE.

There are some exceptional circumstances where, if you are currently waiting for an SIA licence, you can still work.

If you receive an acknowledgement letter from the SIA that your licence is in progress, some employers will accept this as valid reasons for you to begin work. However, this is not universally accepted by every employer, as some security organisations will not allow these acknowledgement letters.

Some SIA-approved companies may consider you for work while your application is being processed, and as long as you meet all their other criteria. But in the majority of cases, you will need to wait for the full SIA licence.
