As of April 2021, there is a new qualification requirement for training door supervisors in the security industry. If this is a role you’re interested in, you must ensure you have earned all the necessary qualifications before you apply.
In this article, we explain all the qualifications you need to train door supervisors, including what they are and how you can earn them.
Why train door supervisors?
Door supervisors play a crucial role in the security industry. Their role is to provide responsible security and protection by screening the suitability of persons entering licensed premises. They may aso deal with conflicts in licensed public premises such as pubs and nightclubs.
By training door supervisors, you’ll be teaching them how to deal with different situations responsibly and safely. Your guidance could help save lives should your learners find themselves dealing with a dangerous situation. It is therefore important that trainers are qualified to a high standard.
Which qualifications are required?
To train door supervisors, you must earn the Level 3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment (RQF). As of April 2021, it’s recommended that you hold the Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice (RQF) .
