Accure Security officer stationed at a professional Ontario lobby post.

Training and certification

Field-ready officers start with disciplined training.

Accure Security invests in the people it deploys. From Ontario licensing prep to specialized modules for fire watch, healthcare, and control-room operation, training is the layer that turns hiring into reliable coverage.

Programs

Core modules that shape every Accure post.

Training focuses on what actually happens on-site: identifying risk early, communicating clearly, following legal authorities, and documenting activity so clients get real operational visibility.

01

Ontario Security Guard Certification Prep

Structured preparation for the Ministry of the Solicitor General security guard licensing exam. Covers legal authorities, use of force, emergency response, communication, and Ontario-specific regulation.

02

First Aid and CPR (Level C, AED)

Workplace-recognized first aid, CPR, and AED training aligned to Canadian Red Cross standards. Required for many event, healthcare, and industrial guard postings.

03

Use of Force and De-escalation

Practical de-escalation, conflict resolution, and lawful use of force training. Focused on early recognition, verbal defusion, and tactical communication before physical response.

04

Fire Watch and Emergency Response

Fire watch protocol training for guards deployed on impaired-alarm sites, construction projects, and hot-work environments. Covers hazard recognition, evacuation coordination, and incident reporting.

05

Access Control and Concierge Standards

Front-desk and gatehouse procedure training for concierge, corporate, and residential postings. Visitor verification, credential validation, package handling, and calm customer-facing communication.

06

CCTV Operator and Control Room Discipline

Operator training for the Accure control centre: monitoring discipline, event logging, escalation timing, radio protocol, and coordinating field response with dispatch.

Who trains with Accure

Training designed around the officer, the site, and the client.

Accure structures training around the people who actually rely on it: new candidates entering the industry, working officers upgrading their post readiness, and client teams that need to align with our coverage plan.

01

New guards seeking licensing

If you are pursuing your Ontario security licence, Accure can point you to certified prep resources and let you know when in-house prep sessions are running.

02

Working officers upgrading skills

Existing Accure officers rotate through ongoing refreshers so field practice keeps up with client requirements, insurance expectations, and Ontario regulation.

03

Client property staff

Property managers, event organizers, and facility teams can request site-specific briefings that align internal staff behaviour with the Accure coverage plan.

Training FAQ

What candidates and clients ask before signing up.

Do I need to be an Accure employee to train with you?

Some sessions are internal for Accure officers only. Others, such as first aid or licensing prep, may be available to prospective candidates. Contact us to check upcoming availability.

How long does the Ontario security guard licensing process take?

The Ministry of the Solicitor General requires a 40-hour basic training course, emergency first aid certification, and a passing score on the licensing exam. Total time varies by learner, typically several weeks end-to-end.

Does training count toward continuing employment?

Ongoing refreshers and specialized modules (fire watch, healthcare, CCTV operator) support scheduling on higher-tier sites. Site-specific training may be a condition of assignment.

Do you offer training for our internal facility team?

Yes. Client-side briefings can be arranged to align internal staff with Accure post orders, escalation paths, and reporting expectations for the property.
