About Us
Training Built Around Your Success
Sentry Training Academy was founded by former security professionals who were tired of watching good people fail courses that didn't prepare them properly — and then struggle to find work because they lacked the right contacts.
We built a different kind of training provider. One that combines rigorous, exam-focused teaching with real employment support. Whether you're changing careers or stepping into security for the first time — we will get you through and get you working.

Why Choose Us
Training Built to Get You Through.
Most training providers pack students into large rooms and move on. We do the opposite — small classes, experienced instructors, and genuine support from day one through to your first shift.
“Our aim is to give every student the best possible chance of passing first time — through preparation, structure, and real industry knowledge.”
Expert Teaching From Day One
Our instructors are active security professionals. Every lesson is structured around what gets you through — theory, practical, and the oral assessment.
Mock Exams & Real Feedback
You sit practice papers under exam conditions before the real thing. We identify weaknesses early and close them before assessment day.
Small Classes, Personal Attention
Maximum 12 students per cohort means you get real feedback from instructors — not lost in a room of 30 people.
Job Support After You Pass
We don't stop at the licence. CV prep, employer introductions, and 30 days of employment support to help you land your first role.
Path to Employment
Your Licence Is Just the Start. We Get You Working.
The biggest barrier to a security career isn't the licence — it's knowing who to call. Most people get qualified and then spend months sending CVs into a void. We fix that problem for you.
CV & Profile Polish
We help you build a security-specific CV that stands out to employers — even if you have no prior industry experience. We know what hiring managers want to see.
Direct Employer Introductions
We have built relationships with licensed security companies across London. Our graduates get direct introductions — no cold applications, no waiting months.
Interview Preparation
We walk you through the questions every door supervisor interview uses, how to answer them confidently, and what employers are really assessing.
Industry Network Access
Join the Sentry graduate community. Our alumni group keeps you plugged in to shift opportunities, referrals, and news — long after your training ends.
30-Day Employment Support
After you pass, our employment team is available for 30 days to chase leads, arrange calls, and ensure you land your first role.
London Placements
From nightclub venues to corporate security, retail, and events — we match you to the right environment for your skills across London.
No Connections? No Problem.
We built Sentry Training Academy specifically for people who don't have industry contacts. Your network starts the moment you enrol with us.
