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.

KNOWING YOUR ONIONS

The sacrifice is worth it I never regretted my time and efforts in achieving this great feat of becoming a door supervisor. I will not hesitate to recommend SKILLS FOR JOBS LTD to bring your dreams of becoming a professional security operative to fruition.
Rob is a very helpful personality; he is always ready to come to your aid when the need arises. It is a fact that only the deep can call to the deep. My experience in the lecture room was also fantastic. We were all fascinated by Allan's teaching methodology.

Door Supervisor Training

The instructor were thorough with their teaching and patient enough to explain critical points several times and answered questions. I was glad I got trained by instructors with vast experience and knowledge in the security industry. I will highly recommend Skills for Jobs Door Supervisor Training

Top class training in security

I've had tons of training over the years both in a civvy or military environment.
The SIA door supervisor course I attended was up there with any of them.
The syllabus, although intensive and vast, was presented in a professional but friendly and relaxed classroom environment.

I booked the course with skills for jobs Ltd based on the recommendation of an ex-work colleague. I would also highly recommend them on my experience.

Allan and Rob, both have a real wealth of knowledge and experience, not only, with the content they are teaching, but also with the SIA and their processes, and with matters of legalities concerning the Security Industry.

A very enjoyable experience and I have already vastly improved my employment prospects with offers I am considering.

Another great course delivered professionally by Rob Knowles and his team
Robs knowledge is phenomenal and his passion and dedication is just as important to equip the individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in the role of a door supervisor well worth the time it was a good 2 days well spent 👍👍

Course that gives you the tools to do your job with confidence.

Thanks to Rob and Allan for an interesting and informative course that was useful, practical and enjoyable.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone requiring a licence top up, no matter what your role is or how long you have been doing the job.

The trainers are passionate about what they do and this comes through in the course format.

Having done a few similar courses on the same subject i would say that this was by far the best and most practically useful.

Great experience.

Professional experienced trainers

The staff go well beyond what's expected, they put a huge amount of time and effort into making sure people get the most from the courses.
They also go out of their way to help people feel relaxed and work well with each other.

They also make sure to prove what they teach is effective and genuinely useful.

I very highly recommend the course. It's excellent value for money and provides real skills that you'll feel confident using.

Outstanding!

Did my Door Supervisor course with Skills For Job with Alan, which was great. Very informative and clear to make sure I understood all criteria and helped cement the learning through the way he taught.
Have used Sills for Jobs for several of our team, Rob is always very helpful with any queries.
They go above and beyond every time.

First class training

I used Rob and his team twice now, first time in 2020 and then again in November 2022. If you're looking for first class training you can't go wrong with these guys, all have done the job before so they know exactly what to expect, not people who have sat in class room and never experienced real life. Rob and Allan are first class trainers with a passion for the job we do. So if your thinking of doing your SIA license or need top-up training I would highly recommend these guys.
Cheers Rob Oliver
