Finished your 8-Hour Pre-Assignment Training? What comes next for new security guards in New York?
The 16-Hour On-The-Job Training (OJT) is the next required training step. It is completed on the job, under supervision, and must be completed within 90 days of employment. Instead of learning only in a classroom, you build practical knowledge at your assigned post: reviewing site responsibilities, procedures, and how to carry out your duties professionally.
New to the field? OJT helps connect your training to the work you’ll do every day. Employers and partners: IPS Training Academy can support your new hires as they work toward completing this requirement.
Take your next step with a training partner focused on keeping officers compliant and career-ready. Training available through our NYC and Jersey City academies.
