Security Guard Certification
Welcome! Train and start your career as a Security Professional.
Security guards, also called security officers, patrol and inspect property to protect against fire, theft, vandalism, terrorism, and illegal activity. Security guards protect their employer’s investment, enforce laws on the property, and deter criminal activity and other problems.
The State of Arizona requires each security guard to receive at least eight hours of training prior to receiving their initial license and another eight hours prior to renewal. Armed security guards are required to receive the initial eight hours (to obtain the unarmed license) and an additional sixteen hours of firearms training prior to receiving their armed security guard license. Renewal of an armed security guard license requires another eight hours of refresher firearms training (annually). All training is the responsibility of the security guard and the employing Security Guard Agency.
