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.

Absolutely Awesome.
After being booked onto the Level 2 Award in Door Supervision with Skills For Jobs by the management at work I really didn't know what to expect.
I spoke with Rob a few times prior to the course to check details and sort out elearning to be sent to my email address and not the work email address so I could do it at home. A painless process and Rob did it instantly.
When I met Allan on the first morning of the course he put me at ease and went through the weeks schedule with me.
He then went through it again for everyone else just to make sure we knew what to expect. I was very fortunate to also find myself on a course with 9 of the friendliest, approachable people I've ever met - and we had a healthy mix of males and females too. Which was refreshing.
Skills for Jobs did the EFAW certification via elearning modules, face to face theory and a practical assessment that was completed before we began the DS course.
Running Monday to Saturday you would think the days would drag but that certainly wasn't the case.
The right mix of theory and practical to keep everyone engaged and two of the best trainers I've ever met really made the week fly by.
When Rob arrived on Friday we were all apprehensive because we'd never met him before and he was taking us through the practical physical intervention skills and assessments. We didn't need to be.
He knew who we all were even after never meeting us, and he slipped right into the place Allan had left like a neat jigsaw puzzle.
Honestly. If you're looking for a new career path in the private security industry or looking to upskill then I highly recommend Skills for Jobs.
Thank you Rob and Allan. 5 Stars. 100%.

A top draw course, both Alan Price and Rob Knowles went above and beyond to ensure the course was delivered to an exceptionally high standard. Both these individuals have a vast amount of experience in the security sector and are only too happy to impart their knowledge, backing it up with practical examples gained on the 'front line'.
They were both very supportive and patient in the delivery of the training.

Great experience with skills for Jobs…
Great experience with skills for Jobs from day 1. They were ao supportive and Rob was great at communicating every single bit of information throughout. Allan was also helpful throughout the course itself and really cared about each individual and making sure we understood everything. Even when I failed an exam due to my own lack of at home revision, the team at Skills for Jobs ensured I was given every resource possible to pass.
