NYS Security Guard Training

 The first required course is an 8 Hour Pre-Assignment Training course. This is a general introductory course. Upon successful completion of this course the guard is issued a training certificate. This certificate must accompany the security guard’s registration application when submitted to the Department of State. Once the application is submitted, the guard has 90 days to complete the second training course, which is the 16 hour On The Job Training Course. We will assist you with the New York State guard application and scheduling of your Electronic Fingerprint appointment. Upon completion of the Eight Hour Pre-Assignment Training Course, an examination is required for successful completion of this course.  **Please be advised that if you have taken this course before or had a Security Guard License, you do not need to register and take this class. 

 The second required course is the 16 Hour On-the-Job Training course (OJT). This training program should be relevant to the guard’s duties, requirements of the work site, and the needs of the employer. BSI may conduct this training in an approved classroom setting or at an approved work site which is conducive to learning. In addition , Legal Rights & Limitations, Arrest procedures, Public Relations, Access Control, Communications, Report writing, Anti-Terrorism & related Topics are covered. Upon completion of the 16 Hour On-the-Job Training Course, an examination is required for successful completion of this course.  **Please be advised that if you have taken this course before, you do not need to register and take this class. Please see FAQ’s section**  **If you have taken an 8 Hour Pre-Assignment Training Course at another school, you will need to bring a copy of that certificate or your security guard license as proof.**  **The 16 Hour OJT Training Course is broken up into two consecutive 8 Hour Days. Once you book for day 1, the system will automatically book you for day 2 which is the next day. Day 2 is the same time as the first day.** 

 This is a refresher course that must be completed each calendar year that you hold a security guard registration.  Your registration (license) is valid for two years. That means that every two years, you must renew your license. In addition, every year that you maintain your security guard license, you must complete an 8 Hour Annual In-Service Training course between your effective date and the expiration date. If you do not take the 8 Hour Annual In-Service Training course every year, you may not be eligible for renewal or you may have to make up classes.
