Am the same down for PSA screener but would prefer patrol guard. I sent them email asking if there anyway I can change roles. Doubt it will happen, was speaking to a guy on my PSA course who said he kept trying change to patrol but wasn't aloud.


I just spoke to call centre after being on hold for ages- no role changes allowed :frown:
(as expected)
Also, i asked if they could tell me a likely start date- reply "july sometime"
very helpfull!

Does anyone know if we can get reimbursed for travelling? I live just out of London and it has been costing me a lot to travel to London for the SIA course, Rapiscan training and picking up my accreditation pass. Of course I will be doing further training which is going to cost even more!!!

Can you collect your uniform/accreditation without an appointment? I'm pretty sure my accreditation is ready to be collected as I was told I passed accreditation, but I still havent been given collection details by G4S.

Lots of people asking for numbers, i have quite a few. These are numbers that called me which i saved, so some of them will go through to a particula person at g4s and not the general department number.

Screening - 01642 616394
Uniform booking - 0207 0685807
Accreditation booking -0207 5318473


These have worked for me when i called them and wanting to know something etc. You might just get an answer phone but leave a message and see what happens.

What are these two numbers for exactly? Booking uniform/accreditation collection or information? and are they G4S's numbers or the London 2012 UDAC's numbers?

G4S have only just got round to phoning my personal references, and the application has now passed screening.

I phoned up G4S to try and book an SIA training date, yet they're all taken and she couldnt tell me when more would be availbale. Just plan to call back on Monday.

Overall however, this would mean i wouldnt be able to start SIA training or any training until either the 2nd July or 9th July, and then I'd have role specific after that....then this accreditation thing i've read about.

Could anyone who has already been through the process advise whether it is worth still going for this? As I'm getting more and more worried that the later i finally manage to get training booked, the less chance I'll have of having everything sorted by the 27th July when the olympics starts.... Which in turn would make it less likely for me to get 5 shifts, and hence payment for the training, and ergo any sort of acceptable financial compensation for the sort of time I'd be devoting to the whole process.

Would people say it's not worth trying at this point?

i finished my SIA training on thursday, i got PSA and DSA/TED training in july, anyone been to any of these training days? what do they do there and what's the dress code?

Anyone scheduled for SIA Training in London next week (Mon-Fri), but based in the Midlands? I rang the call centre about transportation/accomodation, and they said I'd be booked in for neither, but that I should be able to do the SIA Training in Coventry, however, I won't be contacted about this until Tuesday, which means that given their disorganisation, I'll likely not be contacted at all and marked in as absent from the London course, as theres no option to decline it on the email like there was for my VSA training, which I did last week.

Not quite sure what to do, whole thing is an absolute farce.
