How Do You Get a Guard Card?
Phase 1: Pre-Licensing
In getting a security guard license or guard card in California, applicants need to go through a pre-licensing course or a “guard card class” in a relevant training facility. It is divided into two parts or classes:
Powers to Arrest

These courses are requirements to guard card applications. Luna’s Training in California provides online guard card classes as well as on-demand sessions. Give us a call and we’ll start your 40-hour security guard training.
After passing the pre-licensing class, head over to a LiveScan location to get your fingerprints taken and submit your application to the California Department of Consumer Affairs, BSIS.
