This training is an essential requirement for obtaining a New York State Security Guard License, as it fulfills the mandatory coursework needed to deliver professional security services.
As part of the licensing process, our training school will arrange your fingerprinting at a nearby location and guide you through the application with the New York State Department of State, Division of Licensing Services.
The fingerprinting process may take up to two weeks and requires a valid, non-expired form of identification (such as a driver’s license or passport). Please note: if an original application is not submitted within five months of fingerprinting, the process must be repeated.
