Company details

Information provided by various external sources

Established in 2019, Skills for Jobs (SfJ) was setup to provide specialist training courses for people wishing to start or develop their career within the Security or Hospitality sectors. We’re an approved Security Industry Authority (SIA) training provider, we are quality assured, and approved under Trident / Laser Learning Awards and the Institute of Conflict Management (ICM), which together means the training you receive on our courses is second to none. With a combined operational experience of over 200 years between our training team, we don’t just talk the talk! You will only receive the very best, up to date, knowledge, skills and training, ensuring you’re both properly prepared for any course exams, and for your actual role. The operational experience of our trainers brings the content of our courses to life, providing you with real life examples and realistic scenarios that you may encounter in your role. One major advantage of using real-world experienced trainers is, they can deliver course content from the prospective and understanding of somebody who has actually done the job, rather than someone who has just read the book. Skills For Jobs takes the responsibility of delivering appropriate and realistic training very seriously. This is evidenced through the development and approval of our own Physical Intervention training system ‘Shield PI’, quality assured by the Institute of Conflict Management (ICM) and approved by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) for delivery as part of the Door Supervisor SIA licence linked training (Module 4 at Level 2). We’re pleased to boast, due to the high standards of our training, it’s recognised SfJ generally produces a higher level of candidate. As such, we work in association with a number of local and national employment agencies who recognise our expertise, and regularly frequent our courses as guests, speaking with learners regarding employment opportunities available with them. They are eager to interview anyone who has completed their training through Skills For Jobs.

Excellent course

Amazing atmosphere, very helpful supervisors, with a lot of humour. Andy and Rob are very motivational and encouraging. It was a very busy and informative day for me. Enjoyed every moment.

So Much More Than you Could Ask For

Rob and Alan were fantastic on this course. Giving you additional skills in ground restraint which earns you an extra bit of qualification and really gave you an excellent depth of knowledge in the private security industry. Anyone looking to get their licence- HEAD OVER TO THESE GUYS!! 😄

Fantastic Company

We have been using Rob Knowles for many years now for the simple reason of how easy it is to book the course, the online training, and most of all the fantastic communication between Rob and the candidates.
We have a pass rate of 98% which clearly says something about Rob Knowles and his team.

Top quality standards

Just finished my DS course with Rob and Alan. Definitely recommend them. I hire many security ops at the hospital, and Robs students never fail to impress myself or the NHS staff. So much so, that if I see a guard has come from Rob and Alan, I put them straight on the rota, as I know I'm getting a top quality trained guard.

I have just finished my SIA level 2 and the course was very educational and both instructors (Allan and Rob) were very knowledgeable and helpful. Can't recommend them enough if you're looking to get your licence and work in this field.

SIA Top Up Training

We recently had our SIA top up training with Skills for Jobs Ltd. I cannot recommend Rob and Allan enough. The course was extremely informative and the course leaders superb. Any apprehension that we had approaching the course quickly disappeared once the course started. Best course ever.

SIA top-up course

Completed the SIA top-up training recently with Rob & Alan.

Can't emphasise enough how knowledgeable these two are.
Their patience and professionalism in the classroom is outstanding. Everything taught was broken down to help in the understanding but also straight to the point.
Although my initial thought process was that the course would be teaching me to suck eggs and a complete waste of my time, i have now completed it and feel the opposite. I left the course with so much more knowledge and a different thought process when out working with the public.

I highly recommend booking in on any further training with Rob and his team, I most certainly will be.

Top job, keep up the good work 👌

Excellent Emergency First Aid at Work Course

I just recently completed an Emergency First Aid at Work course run by Alan Price and Rob Knowles and what a great day of learning. They are both very knowledgeable and patient when explaining things. I would highly recommend taking your Emergency First Aid at Work course with them. As an added bonus Rob kept in contact with me to explain when my certificate would come and make sure I have my security guard top up training booked. A really good bloke.

Thank you Allan and Rob

Thank you Allan and Rob! Thoroughly enjoyed taking the Level 2 in Door Supervision course. The knowledge delivery was well structured and understandable. This made it easier to apply in practice, especially when doing practical scenarios.
The course gave me a very good understanding of the industry and the actual job responsibilities. I will be recommending you! Thanks again!
