This training is an INVESTMENT into your career. Just as a degree or certificate for any job, a MD Handgun permit will put you to into a higher level. This training is by NO means a guarantee of employment with us.

If you do not have a Security Agency employer, then we are willing to sponsor your application to MSP as long as you are working for us unarmed while you wait the 90 days it takes for approval.

Security Guards typically will stand for long periods of time. You will NEED a car for transportation. (We have sites from Hagerstown to Ocean City and Havre De Grace to Silver Spring).
