What the petition asks

make the top up course free or available to do online.we are one of the lowest paid industries and to find around £270 and take 3 days of work is ridicolous plus a badge top up fee of £190 ,this should be a course online for free ,we already have the ACT course online ,is this not enough
because its the only way to be heard in todays society,.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

The Government sets the training requirements for holding an SIA licence, but the cost of this is a matter for individual training providers, not the Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling for changes to training requirements, or application and renewal fees for SIA licences, as these are set by the Government.
