Course Experience
This online-only course combines video elements, quizzes, and interactive elements to help you retain the information easily. The Basic Security Guard Training Course takes an estimated 40 hours to complete, but you can learn on demand and at your own pace. At the end of each section, there will be a short quiz to help you recall the information and practice for your licensing exam.
