I've been looking into getting my SIA license, to give me a wider range of employment opportunities, and i need advice.
I'm a little bit on the concerned side as, earlier in my life, just over 5 years ago, i had a couple of small mis steps in my life, and i was wondering if this would impact my chances of getting a license.
Back in 2012, i had a caution for common assault and a few months after that incident it was followed up by a community order / tagging for three months for carrying a lock knife in public (my own stupid fault i know)
Since then i've done my best to keep myself on the straight and narrow, and given the lack of employment opportunities in my area, i since moved to a new location with my partner to give myself a fresh start, and the area i've moved to, has a lot of pubs and clubs, and there are a lot of jobs available for door supervisors and security guards so i was thinking i would apply for a license to push myself and make myself more employable.
Given my previous actions, which i bloody well regret, would i still be able to be granted a license... i checked with the official SIA eligibility section of the website and typed everything in, and it said it will be granted if i apply... I was just asking here, to get advice if possible.
Many Thanks
