Nightclub and Bar Security Certification
Why you should study with us
Nightclub and Bar Security
A bar, pub, casino or nightclub may have a queue for entry, with security staff, commonly referred to as bouncers, managing the access to the premises. This is an important job, ensuring that those who enter are safe and legally allowed to be there. They also ensure that the establishment does not exceed capacity.
Being a bouncer comes with many responsibilities. Bouncers not only protect staff and patrons from difficult or dangerous situations, but also protect the business owners by ensuring the relevant rules and regulations are adhered to.
The job can be dangerous. To address any possible violence in clubs, bars, tourist and nightlife attractions etc, it has become more of a business need than a liability to hire bouncers.
The United States does not have a Federal doorman license standard, such as in the United Kingdom for instance. However, requirements do differ between states, with some now requiring licensing or specific training, for example New York City and California.
Those who take the time to learn about what it takes to be the gatekeeper of clubs and bars often benefit from a deeper understanding of the job, the new skills they learn and the confidence gained. With this course, you will learn about what a bouncer is, the job requirements, necessary skills, and much more.
You Will Learn:
- About bouncers, how they differ from other security professions and the job requirements
- The skills needed for bouncers to ensure a safe and secure environment
- Regulations, laws and what a bouncer can and cannot do
- About the many challenges, risks and even perks that come with being a bouncer
The Benefits of Taking This Course:
- Gain a new perspective into the world of security and what it takes to become a security guard for various nightlife establishments
- Develop a set of skills that can be applied in other professions and areas of life
- Understand what it takes to work in the security field and the challenges security guards often face

This course has changed my life. It has opened a lot of door and when I apply for jobs it adds distinction to my CV.

I cannot fault this course. I am now applying for University and completing this course will show how dedicated I am to learning.

I undertook the Data Protection Certificate course in May 2017. I found the course to have a very in depth amount of detail on Data Protection and the law and legislation around it. It also went into detail on the new Data Protection Act coming in 2018.
I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a course with value for money and also to bulk up their knowledge and perhaps perusing a career in IT or security. The course is audited and comes with a certificate on completion which you are able to print yourself or have one sent out to you for a small fee.

The diploma in Waxing course is fantastic, I am really enjoying it. The information provided is in depth and covers everything you require to learn and be knowledgeable enough to work on clients. It is an easy to follow set up and being able to access the course content on either my home computer or my mobile device gives me the ease to always check back if ever unsure of something. I would 100% recommend this course to beginners, or like myself, anyone wanting to just refresh their knowledge. Expanding my knowledge has been made easy! So pleased I found New Skills Academy.

Wow what an incredible insight for the start of anyone's journey in property. This course gives you so much information and there are tests and questions on each of the modules. The course is very easy to follow and well laid out. You can actually make notes on the pages of each module using the notes tab! I am very excited to say that I passed and I only spent one week on this course. I will print all the PDF information and keep it in a file with my certificate. I feel very confident for my future plans now I have completed this course.

Excellent course, well explained and easy to understand. The course can be done at my own pace and is available on various devices. The layout of the course was excellent and the notes options is very good. The content is perfect and well structured, making it easy to understand and follow. I will definitely be taking more courses in the future.
Luis Costa
I took up this course initially to help me with my own dog, but found that as I worked through the material I actually started thinking that this could be something that I could use to make a second income. From start to finish I found the course engaging and interesting. I am now doing another dog related course and am experiencing the same level of enjoyment. I would recommend New Skills Academy without hesitation.
Keith Smith

Also each module consists of quick test and assignment which enables you to gain knowledge. Finally I would like to thank the New Skills Academy team.
Dr. M. Arshad
Yet another well laid out course. This is my 3rd course so far with New Skills Academy.
More than likely will be back for another one soon. This course was enjoyable to do, and I learnt a lot and passed first try. My certificate will be up on the wall soon.
