Glasgow’s security industry is receiving a much-needed boost thanks to the launch of SIA Training Glasgow, a dedicated and accredited provider of comprehensive training courses designed to meet the Security Industry Authority (SIA) standards. Under the direction of industry veteran Derek Bruce, the training centre promises to set a new benchmark for security training across Scotland.
With a rise in demand for qualified security personnel across retail, event, hospitality, and corporate sectors, SIA Training Glasgow is stepping forward to deliver cutting-edge, compliant, and employment-ready qualifications tailored to the needs of modern security professionals.
Meeting a Growing Demand for High-Quality Security Training
The security industry has witnessed considerable growth over the past decade, particularly in the post-pandemic era where safety, risk assessment, and crowd control are more important than ever. SIA Training Glasgow responds directly to this demand, offering government-approved courses designed to equip candidates with the knowledge, confidence, and legal certification required to work legally within the UK’s private security industry.
“Security is no longer just about standing at a door—it’s about professionalism, vigilance, customer service, and understanding legal responsibilities,” said Derek Bruce, Director of SIA Training Glasgow. “Our training reflects this shift. We don’t just tick boxes; we transform job-seekers into security professionals.”
Courses Offered
SIA Training Glasgow currently offers a full suite of SIA-licensed courses, including:
Door Supervisor Training – The most popular course, ideal for working in licensed premises, events, and night-time economy venues.
Security Guard Training – Perfect for those looking to work in static guarding, retail, and office security.
CCTV Operator (Public Space Surveillance) – Focuses on surveillance laws, system operations, and practical control room scenarios.
Emergency First Aid at Work – Included as a requirement in most SIA licences, this one-day course is HSE-compliant and vital for all security roles.
Each course is delivered by experienced tutors, many of whom have worked in the field, and combines interactive classroom sessions with real-world case studies to prepare learners for both the exam and the job.

With over 15 years of hands-on experience in both frontline security operations and compliance training, Bruce is committed to raising the standard of security professionalism across Scotland.
“It’s not just about teaching people how to spot trouble—it’s about communication, de-escalation, duty of care, and professionalism. Every person we train becomes a representative of the industry. That’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly,” he added.

Local Focus, National Impact
Though headquartered in Glasgow, SIA Training Glasgow is already making plans to expand its course offerings and reach. The centre is currently in talks with local councils and employers to offer bespoke in-house training for teams working in retail parks, transport hubs, and entertainment venues.
“We’re focused on creating opportunities for local residents, especially those looking to reskill or find employment in a fast-growing field,” Bruce said. “But we also recognise that the industry’s needs go beyond Glasgow. We want to be a part of Scotland’s broader workforce development.”
Upcoming Course Dates and Enrolment
SIA Training Glasgow runs courses weekly, with both weekend and weekday options available to accommodate all schedules. All courses are capped at a maximum number to ensure personalised instruction, so early booking is encouraged.
