About the course

The skills learned in this program will prepare students to pursue employment with private and commercial security agencies, hospitals, and bylaw enforcement teams, as well as various security jobs with the provincial or federal government. This program also places a strong emphasis on practical training in the form of simulations and includes a work integrated learning experience with a security industry partner.
