Description

If you want to become a licensed security guard in New York State, the very first step is completing the state-mandated 8-hour pre-assignment training course. This beginner-level class, available at any NYS-approved security training school, is required before you can apply for a Security Guard Registration Card through the New York Department of State.

During this introductory session, you’ll gain a solid understanding of the basic duties and expectations for security professionals in New York. Core topics include:

  • Understanding the role of a security guard
  • Legal authority and its limits
  • Responding to emergencies
  • Effective communication and public interaction
  • Access control procedures and types
  • Professional ethics and conduct

To pass the course, you’ll need to achieve a successful score on the final exam, which features both multiple-choice and true/false questions covering all material discussed in class. Before the test, your instructor will review key points to help ensure you’re fully prepared. Once you pass, you’ll receive a certificate of completion to include with your security guard license application.
