Where is the training taking place, Romford Road?

So the Woodgrange station is closer? Awesome. Thanx.

the closest station (overground) is forest gate 5 mins up the road. you can get a train from stratford to forest gates which takes 5 mins.

guys i need help to get the training place from manchester which is absolutely adventure.

the train is leaving manchester 12:35 to 14:42-London Euston

14:42 London Euston, arrives 14:42 London Underground Zone 1-6 by tube
Now then how would i get to City gatehouse 246-250 Romford Rd,
underneath it says
Route: This ticket allows travel on any permitted route.
i don't know what ^^ means

Take the underground to Stratford station. Once there you need to get a bus and there is a bus stop outside the city gate. Can't rembere which once but go to TFL route planner and check

The training at citibase romford rd is for the SIA license then training will b done at Pitchford street fot eh speacialised area of your placement. Pedestrian Screening, Rapiscan Training, Vehicle Training stuff like that

Hope this helps x

Sorry I don't know why I said that station: the closest station to the city gate house is Forest Gate: literally a 5 minute walk. Trains to every 10 mins from Stratford station to forest gate, and it's about 4 minutes. But it's a 30 minute walk from Stratford all the way up Romford road to 250 from Stratford! Did it on my first day and was super tiring

=/ So I recieve a short notice to start work tomorrow (today now) at very early hours of the day from a place that's 2 hours away and I have no form of transport to get there during those early hours, also was booked for 84 hours of work for the week. /Facepalm Oh G4S...!

Did you do the SIA course with g4s or before you got the g4s role with another company? Did they make you do another 4 days even though you had the licence and did you need to do an exam again? I gained my licence in March and do not see any reason why i should attend training for something i already have.



I gained a SIA door licence after my g4s olympic interview, but before training started. I've had numerous emails asking me to attend the SIA course as part of the training process, yet when i have spoken to g4s on the phone they said there was no need for me to attend. It seems their automated system can't handle people that have gained an SIA on their own merrit AFTER the interview.

Now today i get yet another email for the SIA training this weekend and next weekend, but like you i do not know if this is different in any way...Did you gain your SIA licence as part of the g4s olympic training?

Also in the email it mentions reading some documents in regards to Romford venue, but these do not exist on the email or the g4s site. I'm sure i read somewhere a person turned up to the Romford venue and was told to go elsewhere. As it stands i have accepted the invitation and will most likely attend just to be sent home when i show the licence. If it is the SIA licence course it's a joke after being told i do not have to attend...

Please keep me informed if you get any information regarding this weekend and if the training is additional on top of an existing licence. I have sent g4s a long email on the matter, but chances i get a reply before Saturday are slim.

Thanks!
