Built for the officers nobody else sees
Mobile patrol and vehicle response is one of the most demanding roles in UK private security. You are usually alone, often at night, frequently miles from your control room, and responsible for property worth tens of millions of pounds. The decisions you make at 2am – to enter or to wait, to call the police or to stand down, to detain or to disengage – have legal consequences for you and commercial consequences for your client.
This course gives you the standards-based framework to make those decisions cleanly. It is built around real UK regulation: SIA front-line licensing, BS 7499 for mobile patrol service, BS 7984 for keyholding and response, the Road Traffic Act 1988, the lone working duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and the evidence requirements of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984
You finish with a CPD-accredited certificate, a clear understanding of where your authority ends and begins, and the operational habits clients want to see in their Approved Contractor Scheme audit trail.

Common questions about this course
Is this course SIA approved?
No course is “SIA approved” in that phrasing – the SIA regulates licensing, not specific CPD courses. This course is CPD-accredited and built around the standards the SIA expects licensed officers to work within, including the Security Guard front-line licence scope, BS 7499 for mobile patrol service, and BS 7984 for keyholding and response. It is designed to complement, not replace, the SIA top-up training that leads to the licence itself.
Do I need an SIA licence before taking this course?
No. The course is suitable for licensed officers wanting a structured night refresher, for those preparing to move from day shifts to nights, and for contractors who want every night officer trained to the same operational standard. You do not need a current licence to enrol.
Will this course teach me to drive a patrol vehicle?
No. This is a CPD course covering the legal, operational and procedural framework around mobile patrol and vehicle response. It is not a driving qualification. You must hold a valid UK driving licence appropriate to the vehicle category you drive at work, and where your role involves higher-grade driving (for example response driving), your contractor will arrange separate practical driver training.
How is the course delivered?
Self-paced e-learning, browser-based, mobile and desktop friendly. Each topic includes an interactive activity and a knowledge check. Your progress is saved between sessions. On completion you receive a CPD-accredited certificate issued by London Security College, which can be added to your contractor’s training matrix.
How long do I have to complete it?
12 months from enrolment, which gives ample time to fit the course around shift patterns. Most learners complete in 6 to 8 hours across two or three sittings.
Can my contractor buy seats in bulk for a whole team?
Yes. Multi-seat pricing is available for security contractors, retailers and facilities management firms running mobile patrol fleets. Use the multi-seat option on the product page or contact us for a corporate quote with consolidated reporting.
