Ohio Online Private Security Guard Courses

Offering online security guard card classes since 2012!

Security Training Center® is proud to offer the first comprehensive, online unarmed security guard pre-assignment training training program for the State of Wisconsin.

It is industry best-practice to train all security personnel in the basics of guard work (use of force, arrest, legal issues, patrol techniques, etc.). Having proof of prior training may improve chances of gaining employment. A trained guard is far more valuable than someone without training.

Our comprehensive training program offers online, interactive training with knowledge checks and final examination. Everything is online, including exams, and you can complete the training at your own pace, on demand (anytime, day or night).

Regulatory Notes

The State of Ohio Homeland Security, Private Investigator Security Guard Services (PISGS) does not require training to obtain an unarmed Private Security Permit (guard card). The applicant must only pass a background check and pay the permit fees.

The PISGS is aware of our training program. As there is no mandatory training and no minimum requirements have been established, the PISGS cannot officially approve our program.

Licensed companies (employers) register employees with PISGS.

Testimonials from our other state programs

This is the best security officer training I've had for my initial and refresher training. I especially like being able to work online at my convenience which made learning much more beneficial, since I could learn a chapter and then reflect on the training before continuing.
- John P.

The course allowed me to do it at my pace and time frame other than the other way around. It was a great experience and I learned more than I would have in a classroom.
- Aaron P.

This is the perfect option for people looking to get security training and can't sit down and take a full day to complete the class.
- Michael L.

This program is good and taught me a lot about security and the things that you will need to do the job right and safely which is important. Thank you.
- Filipp K.

I'm an extremely busy person so time is valuable, as many people may relate. This program was convenient, go at your own pace, user friendly, extremely detailed with the information broken down for all levels of education. I would most definitely recommend this course to anybody looking to get their guard card who doesn't have the time or means to take the class in person. WELL DONE!
- Anon.

I took this course as a renewal of my security guard license, and there was quite a lot of information that was not included in my initial training. I feel much better prepared after taking this course.
- Anon.

The best way to fulfill the states requirement. Being able to log on or off as is convenient was a great benefit.
- Kevin D.
