At Skills Training College we strongly recommend you undergo a criminal history check before enrolling in a security course. Students may not be eligible to apply for a security license if they have been convicted of a disqualifying offence in the last 10 years or are a “close associate” of criminals.
Those subject to Control Orders, Firearms Prohibition Orders or custodial offences may also not be eligible for licensing. Legislation varies from state to state, so for specific information on disqualifying circumstances please check your state government website.
Upon completing this security course, you’ll be eligible to apply for a security licence in your respective state or territory. Each state has specific licensing requirements and regulations that determine the roles a licensed security professional can perform.
If you’re planning to work across different states, mutual recognition allows you to transfer your security licence. However, it’s essential to research the licensing criteria for your state to ensure compliance before applying for security jobs.

The completion time for the security course varies based on the student’s progress in the online section. Students have up to three (3) months to complete the course from the enrolment date.
Upon successful course completion and obtaining your security license, you’ll have access to a wide range of job roles. Specific positions may differ by state, but common examples include security guard, security officer, crowd controller, or loss prevention officer.
