On our 20th year, we headed to Soho to meet the security officers keeping the city safe.
We asked them to guess how many people we have trained in two decades. Nobody was ready for the real number.
Watch to find out what it is.

Get Licensed is celebrating its 20th year.🎉
Two decades ago, we started with one training room and a simple idea: make it easier for people to get into security work. Since then, more than 450,000 people have trained with us and gone out to protect others, often on the jobs nobody notices until something goes wrong.
To mark our 20th year, we did not want to throw a party for ourselves. We wanted to open the door for the next generation. So we are giving away 20 fully funded security courses.
Each place is the full Door Supervisor course, the main route into the industry, with first aid included where it is needed, and the GuardPass app to help find that first shift. Worth up to £400 each, and completely free.
This is for people starting out. If you have ever thought about a career in security, this is your way in. And if you know someone who deserves the chance, you can put their name forward instead.

Twenty years ago, someone asked us for a start. The answer was yes, and Get Licensed began.
As we reach our 20th year, our founder Shahzad has written to the people who made it possible: everyone who trained with us and went out to keep others safe.
Read his letter above. Thank you. This one is for you.

A piece of advice from Friat, one of the door supervisors in our community:
Being out in the public eye means people come to you when they need a hand, and not all of it is in the job description. Friat helped an elderly lady with her suitcase in the underground, and the next day a thank-you letter arrived for him. He didn’t expect anything to come of it.
Small moments. Big difference.
From hospitality to security, building the right skills can open more opportunities.
Combining Door Supervisor and CCTV qualifications gives security professionals more flexibility, from frontline roles to control room positions.
A room full of experience, confidence and potential. 💪
This women-only course showed what happens when people are given the right environment to learn, grow and step into security.
The industry needs more women, and they’re ready to make an impact. 🌸
