All Skills Pad SIA courses are taught in person at the Skills Pad Training Centre, 33 Park Street West, Luton, LU1 3BE — a few minutes’ walk from Luton town centre and Luton railway station. The dates below are the courses we currently have open for booking. Weekend days are not training days.

Training times

Every training day runs from 9.30am to 4pm, including the assessment days. Please allow time to arrive before 9.30am so that registration and identification checks can be completed before teaching begins.

Courses run as scheduled. Skills Pad has not cancelled a scheduled course to date, so once you have a confirmed place you can plan your work and childcare around the dates shown.

Emergency First Aid at Work — a £95 option on your main course

A valid first aid certificate is a mandatory entry requirement for the Door Supervisor course and the Door Supervisor Refresher. Emergency First Aid at Work costs £95 and is added as an option against your main course when you book, so you choose it on the same booking rather than buying it as a separate course. We run it shortly before your SIA course wherever possible. Call 01582 958844 if you need to confirm the next available day.

How booking works

Choose your course, choose your date from the dropdown on the course page, add any options you need and pay online. Payment by card is handled securely by Stripe, and an interest-free payment plan is available through Klarna. Once you have booked we send joining instructions confirming daily start and finish times, what to bring and how to find us.

Places on every course are limited so that each learner gets proper attention during the practical and assessed sessions. If the date you want no longer appears in the dropdown it is because it is full — call 01582 958844 and we will put you on the list for the next available course.

Our office and telephone lines are open Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 4pm, so that is the best time to call if you need to change a date. Transfers and refunds are covered in our Booking, Cancellation and Refund Policy.

Is the date you want full, or not listed yet? Join the course waiting list and we will contact you as soon as a place or a new date is confirmed. There is no cost and no obligation.

Not sure which course you need, or whether you meet the SIA requirements? Use our SIA course eligibility checker — it takes about two minutes.

What to bring on the day

• Photographic identification and proof of address, as set out on each course page.
• Your National Insurance number.
• Your valid first aid certificate, if you already hold one and are attending a Door Supervisor course or refresher.
• Something to write with. Workbooks and learning materials are provided.

Where the training takes place

Skills Pad Training Centre, 33 Park Street West, Luton, LU1 3BE. The centre is walkable from Luton railway station and Luton town centre, and is served by local bus routes. Learners travel to us from Luton, Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Bedford, Milton Keynes, Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Stevenage, St Albans and north London.

Skills Pad is a training provider. We are not the Security Industry Authority. Passing a licence-linked qualification is a requirement for the matching SIA licence, but the SIA decides every application itself after its own identity and criminal record checks.
