“Suleman was an outstanding trainer for my SIA Door Supervisor course with Training Strategies Ltd in Liverpool. He went above and beyond – super knowledgeable, broke down every topic perfectly with real door work examples, and had endless patience for questions. His energy kept the class motivated, and he genuinely wants everyone to succeed. Passed first time thanks to him – Suleman is the best SIA trainer out there, absolute legend. 5 stars all day!”

the training course was rushing and completely disorganised, although in fairness the instructor Gary (when not bragging about his sexual exploits as a doorman in Leeds) was actually very good at teching the basics. Problem is that I started the course in May, it's now November and Training Strategies still haven't got their act together and paid the SIA so that I can get my license and start working. Taking the pi$$ is an understatement...

Have I waisted my time?

This would be 5 stars if based on the fantastic trainers......but issues start when you pass the course and you are waiting several months to get your badge paid for. I am missing out on work and everytime I call the office I am told "I will escalate it to the finance team" or "the finance team have not looked at your case yet". I was promised that the badge would be paid on Friday 19th as this was 8 weeks after submitting my application and still nothing. Only contact I am having is from SIA advising that my application will expire soon.

Course review


From Ashwin,
I just finished my training for first aid and door supervision. My experience was good, Kevin was straight forward, aided us in understanding the course. He was nice and detailed regarding the course, we learned everything needed. He prepared us perfectly for the exam. I would recommend this course to someone wondering to participate in the course as it is very useful to learn these skills. Kevin’s knowledge and experience was very detailed and necessary for the course.

Excellent course, brilliantly delivered

Took my SIA door supervisor course with TSL in Burnley. I got in touch after seeing an ad on Facebook, and they got me on a course the next day. I was contacted when they said they would be in touch, promptly replied when I emailed asking about what I'd need to bring with me, and the actually course itself was fantastic. Tommy was absolutely brilliant, keeping the theory modules informative and engaging, relating what we'd learned to his own extensive experience and making everything as clear and concise as possible, as well as being an absolute joy to spend a prolonged period of time with.
