The 8 Hour Pre-Assignment Security Training is the first step to getting a New York State Security Guard Certification. You should register for the 16 Hour On-the-Job Course at the same time, to take care of all of your required security guard training.
The 8 Hour Pre-Assignment Training Course for Security Guards provides students with a general overview of the duties and responsibilities of a security guard. Topics covered in the course include:
- Role of the security guard
- Legal powers and limitations
- Emergency situations
- Communications and public relations
- Access control
- Ethics and conduct
Students must submit state ID and proof of purchase, and attend the entire 8 Hour Security training at Knight Training Institute. An examination will be given on the same day and a minimum passing score of 70% is required to become a New York State certified security guard. KTI will provide a certificate of completion to all students with a passing score.
