A security guard or security officer is responsible for monitoring a specific area or building to prevent violent incidents, theft, or other events that may endanger people or property. To get a security certificate in Texas, a person must undergo a security guard training course. There are a number of types of licenses or “levels” to obtain that determine the kind of security work you are able to do.

In Houston, TX, a level 2 non-commissioned security license allows for a Houston Texas security guard to provide unarmed security services. In contrast, for an armed security guard license, a level 3 certificate is required.

We offer both levels of security training as well as level 4 security guard training, which is bodyguard or executive protection. You can select the course that best fits your need or budget, and our expert trainers can get you trained, certified, and ready to have a successful career in security.

Our security guard training academy, based in Houston, Tx, is home to some of the best security instructors across all the states. Not only does our training prepare you for the role, but it also puts you at the front of the queue for security jobs because our training is recognized as some of the best in the industry.

We offer certification training for level2 for unarmed officers. This trains you to be able to handle the day-to-day roles of being a security officer, while preparing you to be able to stay calm and react safely and professionally when the unexpected happens. A level 2 Houston Texas security guard, trained with us, is well prepared and recognized by clients throughout Texas as a great candidate, putting you right at the top of the job market.

Our level 3 armed security guard training is recognized as one of the state’s best training programs. Level 3 graduates have had practical training in managing hostile situations and time on the range to ensure they are competent with a weapon and the role it plays in security.

To be a level 3 security office in Houston, Texas, you need to pass a criminal background check. If you don’t think you will pass, you should not start the training because the check is obligatory.

Next up from our level 3 training, our level 4 personal bodyguard training courses are for graduates looking to work as a bodyguard or executive security. To obtain a level 4 license in Texas, you are required to be legally allowed to carry a gun because you will have a level 4 license that gives you permission to conceal carry while on duty in the state of Texas.

Level 3 allows you to be armed but not concealed. The training on the level 4 program is more intense and covers more time on the range handling a weapon in a variety of situations, as well as looking at close quarter protection. Our training is intentionally demanding because our graduates are recognized as some of the best in the industry.
