What to Expect from Security Training in Toronto

Starting a career in the private security industry is a challenging, but rewarding experience. Earning a Private Security License creates a wide variety of career opportunities in numerous work environments, though, you’ll need to first pass your Provincial Exam after completing a 40-hour course.

Here’s what you can expect from joining Cancom Global Security’s security guard courses, and some of the benefits of our courses.

What Careers Are Available for Individuals Who Complete Training?

After completing a certified security guard course, such as the ones offered at Cancom Global Security, you’re eligible to earn your Private Security License. A Private Security License opens the door to numerous career opportunities. From working airport security to being a bouncer at a nightclub or bar, depending on the kind of environment you most want to work in, you’ll have a variety of options to choose from.

For those with a Private Security License, you can be considered for positions with:

• Loss Prevention Security
• Residential Concierge
• Special Event Security
• Mobile Patrol
• Mall Security
• Close Protection
• And more

In order to earn your Private Security License in Toronto, you’ll need to complete a 40-hour course, be trained in Emergency First Aid, CPR, and AED, as well as pass the Provincial Exam.

Our security guard course at Cancom Global Security will provide all the training you need in order to pass the Provincial Exam confidently. Our course is completely comprehensive, and aims to set you up for a successful future career.

Why Should I Take an In-Person Class versus an Online Class?

While online courses are convenient, with in-person classes you can learn more about the security guard industry, and start getting real experience in your new career role.

Here’s a few reasons why you might benefit from in-person security guard courses over online courses:

• Real World Scenarios: In a classroom setting, you have direct access to your course instructor, and peers. You’ll be able to learn more effectively with their feedback, and by being able to ask questions more openly. Our security guard course integrates real world scenarios for you to learn from. Being in an in-person class allows you to solve problems together with your peers. And, while an online course may seem more affordable, you’re sacrificing valuable education and training that could help you earn more in the future. With us, you’ll gain real experience with fire panels, learn how to patrol buildings, and take on situations you’re likely to experience in your career.
• Accountability: Starting a new career is a big endeavor. And because of this, it can be easy to neglect your education. An in-person setting helps you stay accountable, and provides a place where you can feel supported throughout your training.
