FOI release

Request for information about a specific training provider

Published 19 June 2025

Request

I am writing to request the status of my personal registration within the security industry, specifically in regards to my ability to teach.

I would like to know if there are any reports, restrictions, or blacklisting related to myself due to having unsuccessful job applications without reason causing a loss of income for myself after the centre I was working at for many years having a sudden withdrawal from the Trident awarding body.

Response

The SIA does not hold this information.

The SIA does not regulate awarding bodies, training centres, or the trainers who deliver SIA licence-linked training. The SIA sets and approves standards of training by creating and publishing specifications for learning and qualifications. The training is delivered by training providers who are in turn approved and audited by one or more awarding organisations.

We suggest you contact Trident directly.
