Licence & Regulatory Requirements

The Security Licence (Guard) – Employee (Cat C, E & H) permits you to carry a weapon while performing security guard duties for a licensed security organisation. However, it does not grant you the authority to acquire firearms.

Applications made for Security Guard Firearms Licences are handled by the Weapons Licencing Branch of the Queensland Police. This service incurs a fee to process, approve and issue licences which is not included in the cost of the course.

Holders of a Queensland Security Guard Employee Licence are required to complete annual recertification to maintain their licence.

Course Price $1150.00

Fees include all assessments and resources needed to complete the course.
