Why is Strike Force Security a Solid Training Choice?
The instructors with Strike Force Security Services have several years of law enforcement, military, and security field experience. We focus on providing students with all the information and materials the ministry sets out in the security guard training curriculum, in order to pass the 60 question security examination, as well as to make the right decisions in the field. Strike Force Security instructors continuously assess individual student’s abilities, and target areas a student may need to improve upon, and then work one-on-one with the student to help them achieve their goal.
I currently hold an Ontario Security Guard License, am I required to take the ministry test?
If you are currently licensed and your license expiry date is July 16, 2010 or later, you are required to pass the 60 question test before renewing your license. If your license expiry date is July 16, 2010 or later and you do not complete/pass the security exam before your license expiry date, you will be required to successfully complete a 40 hour security training course from a qualified provider before being eligible again to write the 60 question security exam.
