If this is your first licence

Four things that catch people out.

Most candidates are paying their own way and have not sat a formal test in years. Here is what to know before the exam day.

  • 01

    Not sure which licence

    Door supervisor, security officer, CCTV, CViT, close protection. The guide walks you to the right one for the work you want.

  • 02

    It is not one exam

    Door Supervisor is four written papers, each with its own pass mark, one of them at 80 per cent. You have to pass every paper.

  • 03

    Out of practice

    Every question has a written explanation and a link to the chapter that teaches it, so revision starts wherever you are.

  • 04

    A resit costs money

    £30 to £60 per paper, on top of a £204 licence fee and the course. BadgeReady is £7.99, once.
