Description
Note: This standalone test is only for individuals who are retaking their fitness test or renewing their license. The normal Physical Fitness Test is included as standard in the 5-day Security Guards training course and does NOT need to be booked separately.
This instructor-led training fitness test is designed for security guards who are entering the industry or renewing their licence. The fitness test is undertaken in a safe, indoor environment under the guidance of a fully qualified instructor.
Important: Passing the Physical Fitness Test does not guarantee you will receive a SIRA Security Guards licence. You must still sit the SIRA Security Guards exam and achieve the minimum pass mark before you are issued with a licence.
