After obtaining your BST Certification and security license, the next step to enhancing your career is the AST Certification. The AST course is an advanced Security Officer course and will help prepare you to work in the field of Private Security. If you successfully complete the course, you will receive a Certificate of Training Completion issued by the Justice Institute of BC. You will then be ready to apply for your licence endorsement to carry handcuffs while performing your duties as a Security Professional. This certification will provide you with the skills you need to safely and effectively control a variety of situations.
Many individuals who acquire the AST Certification from Genesis Security Training Academy obtain positions in Government, Loss Prevention and Special Events. In order to receive the AST certification, you must complete a three-day course and pass the exam with 75%.
