"Quickest and smoothest Security Guard Refresher I could have asked for. The trainer covered all the updated SIA modules clearly and the practical sessions were spot on. Did the 1-day refresher at Canary Wharf and my SIA licence was renewed within a week. The team really know what they're doing and made the whole process completely stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone needing to renew."
"Did my Security Guard Refresher here and it was brilliant. The trainer went through all the latest SIA updates and answered every question I had. The conflict management and emergency response refresh was really useful and well delivered. Licence renewed within 5 working days. Great location at Canary Wharf, easy to reach from anywhere in London."
"Excellent Security Guard Refresher. After 3 years on site I was a bit rusty on the legal updates, but the trainer made everything clear and easy to follow. The updated patrolling and reporting content was really useful and the practical scenarios were spot on. Got my SIA badge renewed quickly and I'm already back at work. Thank you LSC."
"Booked the Security Guard Refresher and was really impressed. Clear, professional and very informative from start to finish. The trainer made what could have been a dry day really engaging and we covered every module thoroughly. The Canary Wharf classroom is modern and the small group meant lots of discussion. 5 stars all the way."
"I took the Security Guard Refresher course from London Security College and it was a great training. The team was excellent, and my licence got renewed in just 2 days. Quick, professional and well organised. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my next refresher."
"Great course! Helped me renew my SIA Security Guard licence with no hassle at all. The Refresher was well delivered and the trainer was friendly and easy to learn from. All the updates were explained clearly and I felt confident going back to work straight after. Highly recommend London Security College for any SIA renewal."
