Online Training Program

Marshal Security’s online training program uses a Learning Management System (LMS) to provide training to a student. Under this system, the course is divided in sections and lessons/units. Each sestion is usually composed of three elements:

  1. Video Lectures
  2. Section Reviews using PowerPoint slides
  3. Section Notes and Quiz

The student is required to follow all section and lessons in sequence. Once a lesson is completed, he/she will have to mark it as completed. At any time, the student will be able to see his/her progress in the course in a progress bar. Additionally, he/she will also be able to communicate with an instructor; and will be able to send him the assignments. Course Instructions

The training program works as below:

  1. Upon registration, the student is given a user ID on Marshal Security’s website. This allows a student to get access to all the study materials on the website right from the day one.
  2. The student will start his/her study from the first sestion. After watching the video lectures in lesson, he/she will have to review it by reading the section review. After finishing the review, he/she will have to complete the quiz.
  3. After finishing the first session, the student will move to the 2nd session and so on. If there is an assignment, the student will complete it and will send it to the instructor for review.
  4. After the completion of 12 sessions, the student is required to take Final Test.
  5. Then, after the completion of online training, and in order to prepare for license exam, the student is recommended to complete the additional practice tests / mock tests that are also available online.
  6. The practice tests / mock tests not only makes learning easier for a student but they also help them to understand the responsibilities imposed on them by law while working as a security guard. Two important features of practice tests / mock tests are that
    1. a student can take the test either in practice test mode or a mock test mode. In practice test mode, a student will be able to see the correct and incorrect answers just after answering any question; while in a mock test mode, the correct and incorrect answers will be graded and shown only after the completion of the test.
    2. every time a student attempts a test, the question order of a test will change randomly.  This way, the student gets more learning as he/she will not be able to memorize the question order and the answers.
  7. At any stage, if student feels to revise a part of a course, he/she can directly jump to that part in Learning Management System (LMS). 
  8. Somewhere during the course, the student will have to complete a requirement of Emergency First Aid & CPR training. This can be taken in-class or blended (online + hands-on-practice), and is offered usually every week. If you signed up for a course without First Aid & CPR training, you must submit a copy of your valid Emergency First Aid & CPR certificate to Marshal Security.  Please make sure that the First Aid & CPR provider is approved by WSIB.
  9. After the completion of the training, the student will receive a training completion number by email. The student will use this number to book and write a Ministry Official Test.
  10. After passing Ministry Test, the student is eligible to apply for a Security Guard Licence.
