Meet Jay.
Jay is 24, lives in Manchester and wants steady work. A friend says door supervisors are always in demand: stadiums, bars, events.
To do the job legally in the UK, Jay needs an SIA licence. And to get one, Jay first needs the right training from an approved provider.

Every step of the journey lives somewhere different, and nothing connects to the next step.
It's not just Jay. Everyone loses time.
Training providers
- Empty seats on courses that still have to run
- Marketing spend just to be found locally
- No easy way to stay in touch once learners qualify
Security employers
- Hard to find licensed staff for the right licence type
- Checking every licence by hand on the SIA register
- Staff licences quietly expire mid-contract
Three groups. One journey.
No single place.
Learners, providers and employers all need the same thing: a licensed, qualified person in the right role. Yet the journey is split across phone calls, generic job boards and spreadsheets.
The whole security career, in one place.

And the employer is told too, so nobody gets caught out mid-contract.
Every booking makes the next sale easier.
Courses bring learners. Learners become verified candidates. Employers pay to reach them. Providers earn free job posts for every booking, which brings more providers, more courses and more learners.
Most marketplaces own one moment. FindMySIA owns the whole career loop, and the licence renewal brings people back every three years.
licensed
talent
A regulated market with built-in repeat demand.
Licensing is the law
Door supervision, guarding, CCTV, close protection and more all need an SIA licence. Training is not optional.
Licences renew every 3 years
Front-line licences last three years, and renewal can require refresher training, so the same customer comes back.
First aid is now required
Door supervisor and security guard applicants need a first aid qualification, which is a natural add-on at checkout.
