This is everything that is wrong with the industry. It SHOULD be a hard process, you SHOULD have impeccable English, you SHOULD have a respectable BMI... I could go on.
Yeah pay £480 pound every 3 years to renew your sia license for minimum wage, every security job i have done in last 7 years is minimum wage, I would be better off in a factory. Security jobs are a joke. Your sales pitch is nothing but a scam.
@@mgtowchampion7961 depends what your priorities are. Do you want to do factory work, boring monotmous work. Or security work, sitting in an office somewhere. Both you can do overtime, anyway. And security you can do other things, like read or have a side hustle you can work on while working. Since I posted this comment, I've done my license. Think you're bit off with ths £480 every 3 years. In the 3rd year you just have to do a 1 day top up course. Which is £75 without first aid and £135 with.
