Alberta Basic Security Training License (test) preparation.
Under the Security Services and Investigators Act, individuals working in the security, investigation and locksmith services industry must be licensed. Working without a licence is an offense under the Act and may result in fines or court appearances.
Applicants for individual licences must meet basic licensing requirements and training qualifications before applying to receive a licence. Individual licences are issued for 2 year terms and are subject to the terms and conditions of the Act, Regulations and Policy. Applicants should familiarize themselves with these documents and their rights and responsibilities under the legislation.
Individual licences are portable, meaning the licence remains with the individual when they change jobs and enables the individual licensee to work for more than one company if they choose to do so. Individual licensees, not their employers, are responsible for applying for, renewing and maintaining their licences.
