What are the training requirements to get a security guard card?
This can vary dramatically depending on the state you plan to work in. New York, California and Washington, DC tend to have the strictest training requirements because of the elevated security risks and it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of classroom education to earn a license. In most states though, very little to no formal training is required. Again, the best way to learn you own state’s guard training requirements is by contacting the agency that issues security guard licenses.
