Booking & Sessions
How do I book a course?
Find your course, pick a date and venue, then pay online with a card. You'll get an instant email confirmation and your booking appears in your dashboard.
Can I book without creating an account?
No — we need an account to manage your booking, send your certificate, and let you access your dashboard. Sign up takes 30 seconds with just an email.
How far in advance should I book?
Most sessions are released 4-8 weeks out. Popular dates (especially London weekends) fill up fast, so book as soon as you know.
Can I change my date or venue after booking?
Yes — contact us at least 7 days before your scheduled start and we'll move you to another date free of charge, subject to availability.
What if a session is fully booked?
We add new sessions every week. Email us your preferred location and we'll let you know as soon as more dates open.
Payment & Refunds
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit and debit cards via Stripe. We don't store your card details — payments are processed directly by Stripe.
Do you offer payment plans?
Not currently — courses are paid in full at booking. We're working on monthly plans for 2026.
What's your refund policy?
Full refund if you cancel 14+ days before the course. 50% refund within 7-14 days. No refund inside 7 days, but we'll move you to a future session at no cost.
I paid but my booking shows as pending?
This usually clears within a minute. If it's still pending after 10 minutes, refresh your dashboard. Still stuck? Email us with your booking reference and we'll sort it within hours.
Training & Exams
What do I need to bring on the day?
Photo ID (passport or driving licence), proof of address (any utility bill less than 3 months old), a pen, a notepad, and a packed lunch. We provide all course materials.
What if I fail an exam?
You can retake any failed exam within 6 months at no extra charge. Most candidates pass first time — we've got a 95% first-time pass rate.
How long does the course take?
Door Supervisor: 5 days. Security Guard: 4 days. CCTV Operator: 3 days. Top-Up Refreshers (DS or SG): 2 days. Many venues offer weekend intensives.
Will I get a certificate on the day?
You'll receive a digital certificate within 24 hours of passing your final assessment. Physical certificates are posted within 5 working days.
SIA Licence Application
When can I apply for my SIA licence?
As soon as you receive your training certificate. The SIA application costs £190 and you do it directly on the SIA website.
How long does the licence take to arrive?
Typically 4-6 weeks from your SIA application. Add another 2-3 weeks if your DBS check needs deeper review.
Can I work while waiting for my licence?
No — front-line security work without a valid SIA licence is a criminal offence. You can apply for jobs, but you can't start until your licence is issued.
Do you help with the SIA application?
We provide a step-by-step guide in your dashboard once you've passed your course, including how to do the basic DBS and what photos to upload.
Account & Dashboard
How do I reset my password?
On the login page, click "Forgot password?" and enter your email. You'll get a reset link within a minute. Check spam if it doesn't arrive.
Can I change my email or name?
Yes — go to Settings in your dashboard. Email changes require verification before they take effect.
What's the Learn Zone for?
It's our free exam-prep area: video lessons, mock exams, and progress tracking. It's included with every booking, but you can use it on its own too.
How do referrals work?
You get £20 off your next course (or cashback) for every friend you refer who books a course. Find your referral link in the Referrals tab.
