FAQ’s
Security Courses - Frequently Asked Questions
I have no training, where should I start?
If you’re completely new to security, you can begin with our Certificate II in Security Operations Course (CPP20218). This will include First Aid Certification. From here, you will then complete the competency exam (SAIWA) – don’t worry, we’ll ensure you feel confident to complete the test with ease. After you’ve passed your exam, the final step is to complete your Security Licence as well as your Crowd Control Licence application with WA police licensing.
How do I become a security guard / crowd controller in Perth?
To become a licensed security guard / crowd controller in Perth, you must complete the relevant security training (CPP20218) and pass the independent SAIWA test (Security Association Institute of WA).
To be eligible for the security licence you must:
- Be at least 18 years old;
- Be fit and healthy;
- Have a current First Aid Certificate; (Provided as part of the security training)
- Have evidence of your completion of a Certificate II in Security Operations with an approved training provider
- Have successfully completed a written examination based on the content of your training course. (SAIWA test)
Once you’ve fulfilled the above requirements, you will apply for the license with WA Police Licensing Department.
How long does it take to do a security course?
The Certificate II in Security Operations course (CPP20218) takes 14 weekdays to complete with the SAIWA testing taking up to 2 weeks to complete depending on when you book. Although the SAIWA test is only 45 minutes long, it can often take time to process. Police licensing can take 3 or more weeks to process your licenses. We recommend allowing up to 4 to 6 weeks from training to getting the license from WAPOL. This is an estimation and times frames may change.
How much does it cost for a security license in Perth?
There are several costs involved in acquiring your security license with WAPOL. Firstly, there’s the costs involved in obtaining the correct supporting documentation (proof of age, passport sized photos, overseas police clearance) as well as the relevant certificate in your chosen field.
Depending on the security position you choose (Security Bodyguard, Crowd Control, Investigator etc.) will determine the certification you need to acquire. Once you have completed your training, applying for SAIWA costs approximately $76. Additional training and certification is always available if you choose.
Once these costs have been made, you will only need to renew your licence every 1-3 years.
