Advancing your security career with additional training and qualifications can open up new opportunities and help you provide even better protection services.
If you’re considering the Level 2: SIA Top-Up (Upskilling) course, you likely have questions about what the program entails. One key detail prospective students want to know is: are there assessments or exams required to complete the course?
The short answer is yes – there are both assessments and an exam that are part of the Level 2 SIA Top-Up program. However, you don’t need to stress too much about testing.
The course is designed to thoroughly prepare you with the knowledge and skills needed to pass all assessments and the final exam.
Here’s an overview of the assessments and exam:
Practical Assessments
During the course, you will complete three practical assessments that evaluate your ability to demonstrate certain security skills. These are not formal graded tests, but rather opportunities for instructors to observe and provide feedback as you apply what you’ve learned.
The practical assessments cover:
- Conflict Management Scenarios – You will role-play realistic security situations that require conflict resolution and communication skills.
- Searching Skills – You will demonstrate proper searching techniques for individuals and property/venues.
- Arrest Procedures – You will practice appropriate methods for detaining and arresting individuals under different circumstances.
Knowledge Assessments:
You will also complete regular knowledge assessments for each module of the course curriculum. These consist of multiple choice and short answer questions that gauge your understanding of key concepts, regulations, procedures, etc.
Your instructor grades knowledge assessments and allows them to identify any weak areas that need additional review before the final exam. You’ll receive your scores and feedback to help you improve.
Final Exam
At the end of the course, you must pass a final multiple choice exam that covers all aspects of the training program. The exam has 50 questions, and you must score at least 40 correct answers to pass.
Like the knowledge assessments, the final exam allows instructors to confirm that you have retained the necessary knowledge before receiving certification. You will have opportunities to study and practice before taking the final exam, so you are well prepared.
