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

I was extremely worried at first that it wouldn’t be what I want in a course but the course is honestly absolutely amazing! It’s made to be really enjoyable, fun and easy to complete and best of all in your own time.
I could not recommend New Skills Academy any more! It’s now gave me something more to put on to my CV and get my career started in the area I’d love to be in for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for helping me reach my goals and achieve my dreams!
I’ve recommended to all of my friends and would also recommend to anyone looking into doing a course. Go for it you won’t regret it!

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

This course was great! Was so interesting and enlightening to what a day in the wedding planning business will be like! It was so easy to do and easy to fit it around my work schedule. Taught me so much and has really given me an amazing feeling about starting my new career! I would highly recommend! Better than paying thousands to go back to college when you can do this in your own time at your own pace and still learn just as much, if not more! When completing this course, I felt proud and excited for my next steps so thank you so much New Skills Academy for helping me accomplish my big leap into starting a new adventure and finally doing something I love!

I had been interested in learning about face painting as I am a makeup artist myself. I decided to do this course as a cheaper alternative to going to a school to learn.
This course takes you through all the tips and techniques of face painting from starting your own business to essentials for your kit and popular face painting designs which are easy to follow. The instructor is very clear and breaks down the face painting into several steps.
Since completing this course I have been face painting for children’s parties and other events earning good money for my services. Thank you for this course it has been fantastic!

Nicoleta Lucaci
Fantastic course! Well-presented and challenging with frequent assessments. I feel a serious sense of accomplishment having not studied for over 30 years! Videos that accompany each module are carefully thought out and informative. Am so impressed with this course, have now signed up for 3 other courses and recommending New Skills Academy to everyone!
Marva Hudson
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
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.
Rob Coops
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
Omg im so excited, over joyed and all the good stuff that comes to mind! Wonderful experience doing lessons with New Skills Academy. I look foward to doing more courses with them.

Shari Anderson
The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course
