What does the security guard training include?

The course that we offer runs for 5 weekdays and covers off the following sections that educate you on the different aspects of the field of Security.
                The Security Industry
                The Canadian Legal System
                Basic Security Procedures
                Communications for Security Professionals
                Documentation and Evidence

The intent of the course is to fully prepare you for success in obtaining your provincial license to work in this field.  Upon successfully completing the training, you will receive a Certificate of Completion.  Next step will be to write the Government licensing exam.  We can arrange to proctor the exam for you.  With a passing mark on the final exam, you can then apply for your license.  And begin applying for jobs in this industry.

Is there any Prerequisite needed to Enroll?

The only prerequisites are that you must be 18 years of age, have no criminal record, and the ability to read and write in English.

Where are the Classes held?

We have qualified instructors that hold security guard training classes all over Alberta.  We are also planning on offering online classroom instruction in the very near future.  We suggest you check out our class options and pre-register for a class and location that you would like to attend.  We require 50% deposit to hold your seat and the balance is due on the first day of classes.  We cannot hold any seats without a deposit paid.

​How long is the training?

Classroom learning is scheduled over a week from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.  Breaks are included.  

​How do I get my license after completing the course?

After successfully completing the security guard training, you will be required to write am exam issued by the Government, as required by the Securities and Investigations Act, and achieve an 80% passing grade.  This exam will be supervised and executed by a proctor at one of our training offices.  Once passes, you will then be able to apply for your license.
If you should not pass the government exam, you can schedule a retake within 2 years of taking this training.  We can assist you with that, if the need arises.
