SIA

Just wondering if anyone here has got an SIA license and does security guard work for a living?

Was speaking to a security guard last night and he was telling me that a lot of companies do your training, license and get you a job so you don't have to fork out for the cost of training and the £250 license fee.

Just wondering if anyone does this? After hearing Mr Darwin saying that the recession is going to get worse, i thought i would possibly do this so at least i know i will always have a job as security guards are always needed.

Look forward to your replies.

Thanks,

Andy

I could get a job working at a charity business like the security guard i spoke to, which i can't see anyone coming in and stabbing the security guard to be honest?

That's a hobby, i still work.

I want something which is going to pay more than what i do at the moment and something i can do no matter what by having my license.

Currently working as a cleaner in an office block which gets a little bit less than £7ph so yeah it is better and the place where i do the cleaning is guarded by a 63 year old, but the area is fully guarded by sherrif security i believe and is a very safe area.

It's called Kings hill in Maidstone.
