The security industry in Ireland is growing faster than ever, creating excellent opportunities for those seeking a stable, respected, and well-paid career. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to upskill, the Door Security & Guarding course is your essential first step towards a Private Security Authority (PSA) licence, and with ICSE, you can now choose to train in the Afternoon or evening, entirely online.
Train Your Way: Afternoon or Evening
At ICSE, we understand that every learner’s schedule is different. That’s why we’ve made our Door Security & Guarding Skills course available in two flexible formats:
- Afternoon Lectures: Perfect for learners who prefer daytime sessions or want to complete their training before other daily commitments.
- Evening Lectures: Ideal for those balancing work, study, or family responsibilities but still eager to pursue a career in security.
Both options deliver the same QQI Level 4 accredited qualification, ensuring every learner receives the same expert instruction, interactive learning, and recognised certification, just at a time that suits them best.
What the Course Covers
This combined course provides all the essential skills and knowledge to work as a licensed door supervisor and security guard in Ireland. Delivered fully online via live Zoom sessions, learners engage directly with expert trainers in a virtual classroom setting. The course includes:
- Security law and industry standards
- Customer service and conflict management
- Patrolling, access control, and CCTV awareness
- Emergency procedures and communication skills
ICSE’s easy-to-use technology makes participation simple, even for those who aren’t tech-savvy. You’ll gain hands-on, practical understanding in a supportive, interactive environment.
Accelerate Your Career with Next-Day Assessment Results
We know that when you finish your training, you’re eager to start working. That’s why ICSE now offers next working day assessment results, helping you move quickly to the PSA licence application stage and begin employment sooner than ever.
For a small additional fee of €39, learners can opt for this fast-track service, receiving results the very next business day after completing their assessment.
This innovation reflects ICSE’s ongoing commitment to making the security training process faster, more efficient, and career-focused, a genuine breakthrough for learners across Ireland.
Why Complete Both Door and Guarding Skills?
Over 90% of learners choose to complete both the Door Security and Guarding Skills. Holding both licences allows you to work across all sectors of Ireland’s security industry, from retail and events to hospitality, offices, and data centres.
