Door Supervisor Training vs Security Guard Training
We’re often asked what the difference is between a Door Supervisor Licence and a Security Guard Licence. Luckily, the difference is easy to remember.
A Door Supervisor Licence allows you to work as a Door Supervisor and a Security Guard, while a Security Guard Licence only allows you to work in a Manned Guarding role.
Most employers prefer a Door Supervisor Licence over a Security Guard Licence.
