IGS Academy now offers its security guard training in a live virtual classroom. The 54 hours of security guard training are taught on Google Meet, with an instructor and on the same schedule as our in-person classes, anywhere in Quebec. Registration and payment are online, and confirming your identity takes only a few minutes.
Live with an instructor
No recorded videos: classes are taught live on Google Meet, with an instructor, and you can ask your questions during class. Day sessions are taught in English or French, and the language of each session is indicated at registration.
Everything you need for your BSP permit
To work as a security guard in Quebec, you need a permit from the Bureau de la sécurité privée (BSP). IGS Academy’s 54-hour training is the first step, and the Academy helps its students with their permit application. To obtain the permit, you must also successfully complete the 16-hour CNESST-recognized workplace first aid and CPR course. That course is not part of the online training: it is taken in person and can be added for $128. Call us at 514-966-5449 for more information.

- Choose your schedule and dates in the registration form. The language of each session is indicated.
