Each day is exciting as you work with people from all walks of life and you also work hand-in-hand with law enforcement agencies, fire departments,  and emergency medical personnel.

There are all sorts of jobs available in the security industry: security guard, concierge, site supervisor, security manager, security director, patrol/mobile guard, and scheduling. Moving up the ladder could land you a job in operations management, business development / sales, administration, and more!

If you are considering a career in the Security Guard  industry, there are a number of steps you need to take before applying for work.

Obtain Your Ontario Security Guard License

In order to work anywhere as a security guard or private investigator, you will first need to earn your Ontario Security Guard License. All security guard firms require each job applicant to provide proof of having this distinct credential.

The process involves 40 hours of training, and you will also need to be certified in First Aid and CPR. 

Once your training is completed, you will then be provided with a training completion number which you will need when you go to register for the actual Security Guard Test with Service Ontario . 

Once you write and pass the test, then you are all set to start applying for jobs.
