Security Officer vs Door Supervisor training: which one is right for you?

If you’re considering a career in security, understanding the differences between Security Officer and Door Supervisor training is crucial.

While both courses provide the essential skills for a career in security, Door Supervisor training includes additional modules, such as ‘Physical Intervention’, extending the course to 7 days. This extra training qualifies you to work in licensed venues, including bars, clubs, events, and festivals.

We strongly recommend those who would like more job opportunities and do want to work in licensed premises, complete the Level 2 Door Supervisor training and get a Door Supervisor licence.

❌ Security Officers cannot work as Door Supervisors

✔️ Door Supervisors can work as Security Officers

To reiterate, qualified Door Supervisors can legally work in all the same roles as those who’ve completed Security Officer training. If you’re only interested in security guarding, the Security Officer course will meet your needs. But for those wanting a wider range of opportunities, the Door Supervisor course offers more flexibility and options.
