Security Guard Training for Companies in Washington
Contract training for security firms that need Guards certified quickly without building a training program.
Why Companies Outsource Certification
Building an internal training program means curriculum, instructors, records, and a schedule that survives turnover. For a firm running fewer than fifty Officers, that overhead rarely pays. Sending Guards to a certified program costs less and gets them billable faster.
What We Offer
- 1-Day Guard Card Certification — $75 per Guard. Pre-assignment content required before a Guard stands a post.
- 4-Day OIP 1 — $300 per Officer. Patrol methodology, Fire Watch standards, legal authority, report writing, and radio discipline.
- OIP 2 and Probation. Supervision, de-escalation scenarios, and site-specific post orders — thirteen days total.
How the Curriculum Is Built
Every module traces to something that happens on a real post in the Puget Sound: an alarm at a freight yard, a fire panel impairment at a mid-rise, a medical call at a clinic, a crowd surge at an event. Officers leave able to write a report a Client can hand to an insurer.
Scheduling and Records
Open enrollment runs from our Puyallup headquarters, convenient to Tacoma, Kent, Auburn, and Federal Way. We provide completion documentation for each attendee for your licensing file.
