Welcome To Security Training Programs
What's New?
New Training Materials:
The New Security Services Act (SSA) has come into force effective September 1, 2008. This new legislation will bring in a number of previously un-regulated industries into the licensing process.
Effective September 1, 2009, In-house security will be required to obtain a Security Worker license through the Security Programs and Police Technology Division of the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General. Information regarding the licensing process can be found at http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/securityindustry
Due to these changes, the required training program has been updated.
On March 1, 2009 the new training materials and process will come into effect.
Currently Security Workers are required to successfully complete Basic Standards Training 1 and 2 in order to receive the Certificate of Completion required to obtain a Security Worker license in British Columbia.
As of March 1, 2009, Security Workers will only be required to successfully complete one 40 hour course: Basic Security Training to meet these licensing requirements.
Between March 1 and June 1, 2009, both Basic Standards Training 1 & 2, and Basic Security Training (new) will be acceptable for licensing.
