Level 2 Award in Disengagement and Physical Intervention Skills are exempt from having to undertake the Physical Intervention Skills Module 4 Unit of the Level 2 Award in Door Supervision and the Level 2 Award in Upskilling for Door Supervisors.

 

The main benefit here for learners is that this qualification not only covers 'Non-Restrictive Methods of Disengagement and Physical Intervention', it also covers more 'Restrictive Methods of Physical Intervention'.

 

Therefore, undertaking this Award should eliminate the need for any additional 'top-up' training to bridge the gap between the Module 4 PI Unit of the DS Course, the scope of which only provides for instruction in 'Non-Aggressive Defence' and 'Non-Restrictive Physical Intervention'.

 

If you are applying for your Door Supervisors licence for first time, then the qualification must have been achieved less than three years prior to the application.

 

If you are applying for a licence renewal applications, the qualification will be accepted even if it is over three years old, unless there has been a gap greater than three years between holding your initial licences (a gap may be due to expiry or revocation of the previous licence).
