Questions people ask before booking
I've never worked in security. Is that a problem?
Not at all — no previous security experience is needed.
Our friendly team helps you build knowledge, skills and confidence, with support from pre-course learning through your guided course and beyond.
Why is first aid included in the security course?
First aid helps you respond confidently when someone needs urgent help.
Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is mandatory for SIA licence-linked security guarding and door supervision training. It's included in your course price — no hidden extras.
What if I fail an exam?
Don't panic — a setback doesn't mean the end of the road.
Our trainers help you prepare, explain assessment requirements and answer questions but a first-time pass isn't guaranteed.
Your booking includes two free resits if you need another try.
How long until I can work?
After you complete the course and pass your assessments, we'll aim to process results and issue certificates quickly.
Then apply through the SIA online portal as soon as you're eligible, providing everything requested. Processing times depend on your circumstances.
Once your licence is granted, you can take the next step towards security work.
Can you help me find work?
Yes — Venture is an established security employer as well as a training provider, so we understand what employers need.
Our in-house recruitment team can help you explore roles within our teams, with employment options to suit different circumstances and career goals.
We'll support you beyond training as you take your next step.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes — Klarna is available at checkout.
Choose Pay in 3 or pay in 30 days.
Options depend on eligibility, approval and your personal circumstances.
