Find out how to work as a Security Guard in a retail environment

Updated this week

You can work as a Security Guard in a retail establishment such as supermarket or shopping mail by completing a Security Guard Course.

However, we strongly recommend all our applicants who are considering the Security Guard Course to consider the Door Supervisor Course instead.

Qualified Door Supervisors can legally work in all of the same roles as Security Guards. In addition, they can also work in licensed premises such as bars, clubs, events and festivals, which Security Guards may not be able to work in if alcohol is being served.

A Door Supervisor qualification will enable candidates to perform a far wider variety of roles and will greatly increase their chances of finding employment.
