Is Your Security Licence Ready for 2026?

Whether you are looking to break into the private security industry for the first time or you’re an experienced pro needing to stay compliant, the landscape is changing. As of April 2025, the SIA has introduced mandatory refresher training for all Door Supervisors and Security Guards renewing their licences.

At TRU Security, we don’t just help you "pass a test." We provide industry-leading training led by one of the best in the business: Ian Lyons.

Meet Your Trainer: Ian Lyons

When you book a course with TRU Security, you aren't just learning from a textbook-you’re learning from decades of "boots on the ground" experience. Our co-founder and lead trainer, Ian Lyons, brings over 20 years of event security and consultancy expertise to the classroom.


Ian’s training style is built on real-world scenarios. He understands the challenges of modern security because he’s managed them - from large-scale festivals and sporting events to high-stakes hospitality environments. His goal is to ensure every student leaves not just qualified, but confident and capable of handling any situation.
