NC PPSB UNARMED SECURITY GUARD TRAINING

North Carolina Private Protective Services Board requires successful completion of the 16-hour Basic Security Officer Training Course to perform the duties of a security officer in this state. You may choose to attend training prior to application with a licensed security agency which may increase the likelihood of being hired. The standard instructional format is conducted over 2 consecutive days, but scheduling can be customized  according to the needs of your company or group. During this time, we cover all nine training topics required by the NC PPSB and more in great detail including both administrative and legal aspects of working as a security officer in North Carolina. There is no pre-requisite for this course, and all training materials are provided in class.

Training topics include:

  • Legal Issues for Security Officers

  • Emergency Response

  • Communications

  • Patrol Procedures

  • Field Notetaking & Report Writing

  • Deportment & Professional Standards

  • Controlled Substances

  • Traffic Direction & Control

This course is offered at both an on-site training classroom as well as a virtual classroom setting for your convenience. If you select a virtual training course the following details will apply:

  • Training is synchronous, which means that it will be a scheduled live session with a PPSB certified instructor.

  • Training is given via Zoom. You do not need to download anything to attend.

  • You must have a standard sized desktop or laptop computer with a working webcam. Live video and audio is required as well

  • PPSB does NOT permit the use of cellular phones or tablets to join training.

  • Once you are registered for class, you will receive an email with a Zoom link and password. This email will be sent to the email you used to register and can take approximately 1-3 business days to arrive in your inbox.

  • At the end of the class, your instructor will distribute online testing information.

  • Once you have successfully completed all requirements of training, your instructor will email your certificate to the email on file.

NOTE: Possessing a NC Concealed Carry (CCH) permit does not automatically authorize you to carry a firearm concealed. You must first complete the PPSB Armed Guard Training Course. Then you must submit your armed guard registration application requesting a concealed endorsement and provide a copy of your valid permit to the PPSB. If you do not already have your NC CCH permit, you may request to be issued documentation for CCH training upon successful completion of the PPSB Armed Guard Training Course.


This course is required prior to pursuing Armed Guard training and registration.

NC licensed Private Investigators wishing to obtain their Armed Private Investigator license must attend the first four hours of the Unarmed Security Guard Course prior to attending the Armed Guard Training Course.
