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
- Understand the relevant laws and regulations and how they impact the safety and security of bouncers, businesses and patrons

Easy to use! Fantastic! It has massively helped me whilst I have been working in Human Resources.
I couldn't ask for anything better.
I can't wait to start another course with you! Definitely worth every penny and I would highly recommend I was also able to brush up on my excel knowledge too which is really imperative in my role.
Before I started the course I had little knowledge on how to use Excel I am now a Excel wiz! Such a fantastic course I would recommend it to anyone working in HR or looking to get into HR

I love being able to study from home, the site is easy to use and I like being able to just log in and study for as long as I have free then pick it up again the next day or a week later. I lost my job suddenly with no notice and decided to take the opportunity to get back into something new I intended to do long ago but just never had the time or money to do so. The great prices for online learning and being able to learn from home whilst doing part time work have helped out so much when on a budget and being unable to be able attend full time college courses.

I’m a property investor and I have an interest in property generally. I wanted to do this course to broaden my knowledge of property but also make sure I understand my rights as a buyer of property. This is a nice introduction to the profession of Estate Agency but also negotiation and building networks. It includes material on both residential and commercial property, and also property maintenance. It touches upon the Estate Agents Act 1979 which is very important. My next step will be to review the act. It is a very broad course and is a good place to start.

I decided to change career and few of my friends did similar on line courses and now work as teaching assistants.
This course is very well written and understandable.There is a lot of important information,all the chapters are well proportioned and enjoyable to read and understand.
I really liked worksheets on the end of modules which give you chance to summarise all the important parts in each module.I can recommend this course to anyone who would be interested in becoming teaching assistant.
Zuzana Duru
really enjoyed the course, nice short sections easy to take in the information.
I particularity liked the option to save the pfd and print the material, this allowed me to look back on the information, which was very helpful.
I would recommend this course to others as it gives an understanding to the events industry.
I look forward to using my diploma and put the skills i learnt into practice in a day to day career change. Thanks!

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
This is a great course for any level of knowledge. Very easy to navigate, great practical tasks and explanations are very clear. You can revise any module with no problem. The test wasn’t too hard if you completed every module. It may be handy to make some notes before you start. Overall I'm very happy with my choice. Thank you New skills for my New skills :)
Julia Bobkova
I found this course incredibly useful, as it provided me with practical knowledge which I can implement in my role as a Support Worker. The videos were clear and concise, and the downloadable worksheets reinforced what I had learned as I was able to put pen to paper. Overall, a fantastic course for a great price! I am looking forward to taking on my next one.
Teleisha Harley
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.
