Overview
Destination

We offer a 5-week Government funded Security Professional Training Program for those wanting to work in the security profession.

Security Professionals and Patrol Guards work in a number of different environments, both indoors and outdoors. For example, in airports, shopping centres, banks, at conventions or public events, in parking lots, construction sites, hospitals, galleries, or in a variety of other public buildings.

In Alberta, those working in Security Services require a security services licence issued through the Alberta Justice and Solicitor General's Office. However, in order to be prepared for work in this industry, you will need additional training, which we deliver in this program.

Training is funded in partnership with the Government of Canada and the Province of Alberta for eligible individuals!
