In addition to lesson instruction, every student is walked through the State application process in a step-by-step manner to ensure that the license application is complete and filled out properly.
Students passing the final exam will be given proof of completion to provide to the State when they apply for the Class "D" license.
Students that complete Basic Security Officer Part 1 must return within six months* to complete the 16-hour continuation training (Basic Security Officer Part 2) to retain their license.
To assist in the application process students may purchase the support services required by the State in order to have a complete application. Please see details below.
NOTE: According to the State of Florida, applicants for security licenses must be at least 18years of age, have no disqualifying criminal history, and be legally allowed to work in the United States.
