Become a Qualified Door Supervisor
The Door Supervisor qualification provides the training required for those wishing to apply for an SIA Door Supervisor licence and work across a wide range of security environments.
XEKO combines the required qualification content with practical, contextualised training designed to develop competence, confidence and professional judgement — not simply prepare learners to pass an assessment.
