Want to take IGS Academy’s security guard training in a virtual classroom? Registration is done entirely online, in five steps. Here is how it works.
1. Choose your schedule and dates
In the registration form, choose the dates of your session. Virtual classes follow the same schedules as our in-person classes: Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The language of each session is indicated: day sessions are taught in English or French. Upcoming sessions: November 23 – December 4, 2026 and December 7 – 18, 2026. Available dates are always up to date in the registration form.
2. Pay online
Pay the $325 by card, securely. You immediately receive a confirmation email for your registration. Full payment is made at registration.
3. Confirm your identity
Right after payment, upload a photo ID (driver’s licence or passport), front and back, and a selfie. It only takes two minutes. Your documents are kept confidential. This step confirms the identity of the person registered for the training.
4. Receive your Google Meet link
The link to join your virtual class is emailed to you at least 24 hours before your training starts. Make sure you have access to your email to receive the link, instructions, updates and training documents.
5. Attend your training live
Log in at the scheduled time, with your camera and microphone on, and take an active part in the class. Classes are taught live on Google Meet, with an instructor: these are not recorded videos. Your camera and microphone must stay on for the entire training.
What you need before you start
Google Meet or a compatible web browser, on your computer or smartphone. On a mobile device, you may need to install the Google Drive app to view the training documents. A stable and reliable Internet connection, and the ability to view the digital documents and learning materials provided during the training. Active participation and compliance with the class requirements are mandatory to pass the training.
What about first aid?
The 16-hour CNESST-recognized workplace first aid and CPR course is not included in the online training. To obtain your BSP permit, you must also successfully complete it. It can be added for $128, in person only. Call us at 514-966-5449 for more information.
What happens after the training?
Once you have passed the 54-hour training and the 16-hour first aid course, you can apply for your security guard permit with the Bureau de la sécurité privée (BSP). IGS Academy helps its students with this process.
Prefer in-person training?
Our in-person classes take place in Montreal, at 5165 Chemin Queen Mary, Suite 512 (Snowdon Metro).
