Welcome to Trident Awards, a leading and respected brand developed by Laser Learning Awards, dedicated to an expert and focused approach to offering qualifications for the security sector. Approved by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and Ofqual, and backed by 30 years of accreditation expertise, Laser Learning Awards is committed to excellence.
We provide a high quality, competitively priced and customer focused approach to a range of qualifications that are reviewed and developed with customers, as the legislative landscape and our customers’ needs change. Our SIA licence-linked security qualifications have been developed to the highest standards to meet the needs of learners, employers and training centres alike, and to meet all the requirements of the SIA to ensure successful learners can quickly apply for their SIA licence.
