A BASINGSTOKE housing association will be holding a free training course for people interested in a career in the security industry next month.

Sentinel Housing Association will be running a free 12-day training course as part of its Support Towards Employment Programme (STEP), to help people get the skills and qualifications needed for a job in security.

The course will cover Level 1 English and maths, Level 2 customer service and Level 2 door supervision.

Once the training has been completed, participants will be given an SIA licence which is needed for door supervision work.

The course will start in mid-November and is open to anyone over 19 years of age who is not in education, employment or training. Priority will be given to Sentinel customers.

For more information and to take part in the 12-day training course, call Julie Grove on 0800 195 5515, from a landline, or 0300 666 5515 from a mobile or apply online at sentinelha.org.uk/step.
