Is this program right for you?

Are you a licensed security professional who carries and uses handcuffs? Then you must add a Restraint Endorsement to your Security Worker License. To receive this endorsement, you must complete advanced security training.

 

Licensed security professionals need AST. It's a prerequisite for the license endorsement to carry and use handcuffs. You must renew your AST certificates every three years.

Advanced Security Training is a 24-hour course that focuses on providing a foundation in:

  • Security Services Act & Regulations
  • Advanced Force Options Theory
  • Introduction to Control Tactics
  • Application of Restraints
  • Excited Delirium & Positional Asphyxia
  • Reporting & Documentation

Advanced Security Training (AST) is provided by instructors approved by JIBC. These instructors are required to follow the training standards for the security industry as outlined in the BC Security Services Act. To register for this training, please contact one of the approved instructors listed under the How to Apply section of this page.
