SIA CCTV operator training in London

This qualification is designed for learners who want to apply for a licence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA) to work as a CCTV operator in public space surveillance. It is based on the relevant SIA specification for learning and qualifications and is supported by Skills for Security, the standards setting body for the security industry, and the SIA, which regulates the private security industry.

Do you need an SIA CCTV licence?

Under the Private Security Industry Act 2001, contracted CCTV operators who use cameras to watch members of the public, identify particular people, guard against disorder or protect people from assault must hold an SIA Public Space Surveillance (CCTV) licence. A door supervisor or security guard licence only covers using CCTV to identify a trespasser or protect property. This course gives you the qualification needed to apply for the CCTV licence.
