HABC Level 2 Award for Upskilling Door Supervisors (RQF)

This qualification is usually achieved by taking a two day classroom-based course

accompanied by blended and/or distance learning. However, it can also be achieved

through a variety of other methods, providing the recommended learning hours and

contact time are completed.

Unit 1: Physical Intervention Skills for the Private Security Industry

This unit is assessed in two parts. Part one is a practical test and part two is a written test set by HABC and marked by the MTS.

Unit 2: Safety Awareness for Door Supervisors

This unit is assessed by a 10-question multiple-choice examination set by HABC and

internally marked by the MTS. The duration of the examination is 20 minutes.

In March 2012, the SIA announced the intention to require existing door supervisors who had achieved the pre-RQF Door Supervision qualification (for example the National Certificate for Door Supervision) to undertake additional training in order

to renew their licence. From 4 February 2013, all door supervisors with a pre-RQF qualification need to pass an ‘Upskilling Door Supervisors’ award before they are able to renew their SIA licence. This qualification comprises two mandatory units – Physical Intervention and Safety Awareness.

Physical Intervention Skills covers knowledge and practical skills and Safety Awareness covers knowledge of counter terrorism issues, first aid awareness and requirements in dealing with children, young and vulnerable people.
