The terms that govern your training with Vanguard.
Vanguard provides trusted, fully licensed security solutions across London and the surrounding areas from corporate premises and live events to specialist canine units. Every officer we deploy is SIA-licensed, professionally trained, and committed to keeping your people, property, and operations safe.
What we offer
Protect your premises, staff, and assets with professional, SIA-licensed officers trained to manage access control, monitor activity, and respond confidently to any incident. Our corporate security teams integrate seamlessly into your existing operations, providing a visible, reassuring presence without disrupting day-to-day business.
From private functions to large-scale public events, our event security teams are trained to manage crowds, control entry, and respond quickly to any situation that arises. We work closely with organisers ahead of every event to plan staffing levels, entry points, and emergency procedures, ensuring your event runs safely from start to finish.
Our licensed canine units provide an additional layer of deterrence and detection for sites that require it — including search operations, patrol support, and high-visibility presence at events or premises. Each handler and dog team is professionally trained and accredited to operate safely within commercial and public environments.
TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT
A well-trained team is your strongest line of defence. We provide accredited courses and ongoing development programmes that keep your security staff licensed, confident, and equipped to handle whatever the job demands — from day-to-day operations to high-pressure situations.
We deliver fully accredited Door Supervisor, CCTV Operator, and refresher courses, helping individuals and teams meet licensing requirements with confidence and stay compliant with current SIA standards.
Beyond initial licensing, we offer continued training in conflict management, customer service, and specialist skills — helping security professionals grow within their roles and progress into more senior positions.
For businesses managing their own in-house security teams, we offer tailored group training sessions designed around your specific site, risks, and operational needs — delivered at our centres or, where appropriate, on location.
