Security Guard Training Program

TRAINING PROGRAM

At EZ Security Solutions, we believe that the foundation of great security is great training. Our Security Guard Training Program is designed to equip individuals with the essential skills and knowledge to excel in the security industry. Whether you’re new to the field or looking to enhance your skills, our comprehensive training program will ensure you’re prepared to handle any situation with confidence and professionalism.

Our training is aligned with the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services mandatory requirements for security guards. All security personnel in Ontario must complete this government-approved training to work legally within the province.

Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services: Mandatory Training

In Ontario, the Security Guard Licensing Act requires that all security guards complete a government-approved training program and pass an exam to become licensed. The program consists of 40 hours of training covering a range of security-related topics that are crucial to ensuring both the safety of the security personnel and those they protect.

Security Guard – First Aid not included

In order to write your provincial exam and apply for your Ontario Security Guard License, students must complete the 40hr course which is divided between 33.5hrs of online study and a blended Emergency First Aid & CPR / AED training course.

The blended Emergency First Aid & CPR / AED training course is a combination of 3-4 hours of online study and 4-5 hours of classroom study.

To become a great security guard that excels at their job, start with a solid foundation. Other security guard courses will teach you the bare minimum but our training course will prepare you for your first job and give you confidence.

When companies hire a security guard they expect them to be fully trained and able to handle a variety of situations. An inadequately trained security guard may endanger themselves, but can also compromise the health and safety of those around them.
