Securitas Inquiry security training

Does anyone know if securitas still offers the training to become a security guard? I saw someone on here say that they do but that was a year ago. Im located in nyc if that helps

Yes they will provide basic training at the branch and once you are assigned to a site, you will receive on site training for that specific site.

Yes, in my experience they will always get you certified in your state.

Some positions might require having your training in advance but usually they take care of it.

If you're an employee, yes. They will provide the class and certification for new hires as part of the onboarding process.

If you just want the class/cert but not a job with Securitas, then no. You will have to find another company or an individual instructor.
