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.

Quality never goes out of style.
Another quality course delivered by Alan and Rob. Both exceptional professionals in their fields. If only all courses were run so professionally, they are the Gordon Ramsay's of SIA trainers in the UK.
Amazing, Clear and Interesting course
Didn't know what to expect on the course but I found it to be very well instructed and the information was very clear. My tutor Allan was very knowledgeable and always answered any questions I had. There was nothing I was unsure about and I really enjoyed myself and I feel that I have learnt some really useful skills that I will put to practice at my new job.
The best SIA training around
I did my training, getting on the course in short notice. The course was brilliant, professionally run, very thorough. I will be returning to Rob and Allan for my refreshers and any other training I require. I will not even consider going to another outfit having talked to other security and heard about their training I'm very confident that I received the best SIA training available.

Recently did my top up course to renew DS Licence, Rob and Alan your course is amazing, hard work but very rewarding. Rob the graft you personally put in is second to none you deserve every success it's a physical course but very enjoyable. I wish you both the very best and I will highly recommend you to anyone wishing to gain or renew their licence.
A worthwhile experience
The recent experience I had with Skills for Jobs through Allan and Rob was unique, exciting with an apprehensive "overload of adrenaline" and most importantly very enriching.
When I was introduced to Rob, I found a professional in communication, and through our exchange by email, he meant serious business, so I faced the elearning modules with great diligence. Despite my weak experience of familiarizing with the British accent (6 week - old in UK), I strove to follow and greatly appreciated the professionalism of Allan. From Monday to Thursday, he was always set an hour before the set time (8 AM). His style made an incredible impact on me.
On Friday and Saturday, another level of adrenaline with Rob, a man I watched in the pre-requirement course videos with an impression of seeing a severe and fearful ressource person. But I met a diligent, business minded professional, very practical, full of inspiration and a martial arts specialist (I presumed). A good mentor as well.
Overall it was a worthwhile experience though, there could be an alternative option of dispensing the course in a standard spoken language when the instructor has sighted a foreigner among the learners. Nevertheless it enabled me to sharpen my hearing skills of the accent. I appreciate the very participative and outstanding set of course mates.
Thanks and Kudos to Rob and Allan
