Vehicle Immobilisation SIA Training

Updated April 2010 to reflect SIA changes to training

In order to obtain an SIA licence you will need to show that you are trained to the right level. To get the qualification linked to vehicle immobiliser licensing you will need to attend and take three training modules and take and pass two exams. The course may be delivered over 5 days or during weekends and/or evening sessions. The duration of the training should be 27 hours.

The course is in the new modular format and incorporates the common security industry knowledge module, as well as a specialist VI module.

The course is delivered over five days and consists of classroom training, multiple choice examinations and one internally assessed practical test.
