Private Security

Advanced Diploma Training

Security Career?

Your Professional Career can Begin with an Advanced Diploma.

Ontario’s Ministry security license is a great start. But as a front-line security worker, you could face situations that will test your abilities to the maximum, and for that, you’ll benefit from achieving your security diploma. The range of situations in which security personnel must work is broad, from providing guard services at ordinary business locations to dealing with chaotic crime scenes and life-threatening emergencies of all kinds.
If you’d like to exceed security license qualifications and build a career in this exciting and rewarding industry, CSPIS offers an intensive security diploma program designed to give you the essential skills to find employment quickly. You’ll learn to handle routine security/protection issues, as well as how to assess and respond to threats and other special situations. First Aid and CPR training are also included.
