The Security Industry Authority (SIA) has decided to postpone the introduction of new licence-linked qualifications until April 2021.
The SIA has spoken to industry, awarding organisations, and training providers who have outlined the difficulties they face during the current pandemic.
In view of these challenges the September 2020 launch date for the new qualifications is unachievable.
The SIA has therefore set a revised target date of April 2021 for the introduction of the new licence linked qualifications.
