Increasingly, industry stakeholders recognise that the individuals who work to provide a more secure leisure environment must have a broad range of skills and a clear understanding of their role. As the scope, diversity and importance of their work continue to grow, so the degree of professionalism expected from door supervisors will increase. Edexcel’s BTEC Specialist Qualification in Door Supervision provides a specific focus within security to develop skills, knowledge and understanding.

For England, Wales and Northern Ireland the new BTEC Level 2 Award in Door Supervision has been accredited onto the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) for first teaching from July 2010. The final accredited specification can be accessed below. For Scotland, the BTEC Award in Door Supervision (Scotland) has been accredited by SQA for first teaching from August 2010. The final accredited specification can be accessed below.
