IGS Académie is now offering its comprehensive security guard training through live virtual classes. This 54-hour program is conducted via Google Meet, mirroring the schedule of our in-person classes across Quebec. Registration and payment are handled entirely online, with identity verification taking just a few minutes.
Engage with Live Instructors
Our classes are not pre-recorded. You will be part of live sessions on Google Meet, led by experienced instructors. This format allows for real-time interaction, where you can ask questions and get immediate feedback. Classes are available during the day in both French and English, with the language specified at registration.
Essential for Your BSP License
To work as a security guard in Quebec, a license from the Bureau de la sécurité privée (BSP) is mandatory. Our 54-hour training is the vital first step, and IGS Académie supports students in their license application process. Additionally, you must complete a 16-hour workplace first aid course recognized by the CNESST, which is not included in the online training. This course must be attended in person and can be added for $128. For more details, call us at 514 966-5449.
