BASIC SECURITY TRAINING
Course Length: 5 days + final exam (no training on weekends)
If you want to become a security professional, completing Basic Security Training (BST) is the first step. Approved to provide the course by the Justice Institute of BC, Commissionaires is the right choice for your security training.
Our training instructors have former policing, military or security backgrounds that offer real-world knowledge and experience. They carefully monitor the progress of each participant by getting to know you, building upon your personal experiences, and understanding your existing skills set.
During this 5-day course, participants will learn the basic elements of private security, the rights and responsibilities of a security professional, reporting requirements as well as personal safety techniques. It concludes with a 2-hour mandatory exam, and provides a free, half-day review the morning of the exam for participants who wish to attend.
Our training standards go beyond the prescribed course requirements. After completing this course, you will hit the ground running—armed with the know-how to manage real-life security scenarios.
