What happens if I fail the course?

Quite simple. You can re-sit again free of charge. You can also sit through any of the units again if you choose to. That’s free too! In the unlikely event of you scoring particularly badly on any of the modules we will make a recommendation on what you should do next.

Can females apply?

Yes. The course is non-discriminatory. There is a greater demand now for female Door Supervisors and Security Guards as they can assist in the searching of female customers.

English is not my first language. Can I use a dictionary for the test?
