College of the North Atlantic's Security Services program is a short, continuing-education certificate of achievement totalling 105 hours of instruction, delivered in a blended format online with an in-person exam completed at the Prince Philip Drive campus. The course meets the compulsory training requirement for security guard licensing under Newfoundland and Labrador's Private Investigation and Security Services Act, covering topics such as legal authority, use of force, report writing, patrol techniques, and emergency response procedures relevant to private security work. The program is offered through Customized and Continuous Learning rather than as a standard credit certificate or diploma, and admits students on a continuous-intake basis rather than fixed semester start dates. Graduates receive the training documentation needed to apply for a security guard licence in the province and are prepared for entry-level roles with security firms, retail loss prevention teams, and facility security departments.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry requires a high school diploma or equivalent; mature students over age 19 without a diploma may be considered under the College's mature student criteria. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet the College's English proficiency requirement, demonstrated through scores such as an IELTS Academic Test overall band score of 6.0 or TOEFL (paper-based 550 / internet-based 79). The course is offered on a continuous-intake basis rather than fixed semester start dates.
