Our Story
First Pass Security Training was established to address the real needs of people entering or progressing in the security industry across London. We recognised that, with SIA-approved courses now a legal requirement for anyone working in this field, quality and accessibility had to be at the heart of modern security training.
Our founder's extensive background—combining more than 30 years of on-the-ground expertise and advanced educational leadership—shapes every aspect of the business. Having witnessed first-hand the changes in regulation, enforcement, and customer expectations, we wanted to create a provider that offers genuinely supportive and dynamic learning.
Whether you're looking for your first door supervision course for beginners, need refresher sessions, or are aiming for specialised roles such as CCTV operator, our security training for event staff is open to all. We're proud to be an SIA training provider London professionals rely on for accredited, thorough instruction and a down-to-earth learning environment.
Our Trainer
Our lead trainer and founder brings extraordinary depth to every session at First Pass Security Training. With over 30 years spent working across frontline security, police, and as Head of Learning at a distinguished training academy, he has taught everything from crime prevention and investigation to compliance for banks, government bodies, and multinational corporations.
Holding advanced qualifications in training delivery, internal quality assurance, and course design, he is committed to making every session interactive and relevant. Whether courses are delivered online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams, or in face-to-face practical settings, you'll learn via real-world examples and scenarios.
Our trainer's enthusiasm is matched by his professionalism and passion for inclusivity. He ensures every learner—regardless of background or starting level—has a voice, a collaborative environment, and the support to gain their SIA licence confidently. That's why participants rate us as an experienced, approved SIA training provider in London.
