The third required training course for the New York State Security Guard license is the 8-Hour Annual In-Service Training Course. This security guard training course must be completed each calendar year. This program is designed to meet current training needs and refresh or update guards in changes in the field. The security guard must complete this course annually as a prerequisite for renewal of their security guard license. Cost is $60 and certificate will be given that day.

The second required course for the New York State Security Guard License is the 16 Hour On- The-Job Security Guard Training Course (OJT). This class should be taken within the first 90 days of full time employment. This training program is relevant to the duties of the security guard, requirements of the work site, and the needs of the employer. During this 2 day class we include training in BASIC FIRST AID and/or CPR/AED. The fee for this 2-day course is $130*. You receive a course completion certificate as well as a 2 year certification from the American Heart Association.

*While it is not required by the State, some companies prefer if you have the 16 Hour On-The-Job training class completed prior to employment. For those students wishing to complete the 16 Hour OJT class within one month of taking the 8 Hour Pre-Assignment class with us, we will discount the class from $130 to $100.
