Is your business, church, school, or organization looking for security training? SOTC can train your entire security team — on-site or at our facility.
We customize the curriculum to fit your specific needs. Casino floor operations are different from church security. We know that. Our instructors tailor every group session to the real challenges your team faces.

You don't need to figure this out alone. Call us at (619) 303-3104. Tell us your goals. We'll tell you exactly which courses to take, in which order, and at what cost. No guesswork. No wasted time or money.
You can start earning as a security guard within 1–2 weeks of class (your training certificate covers California's 90-day work-while-pending rule; the physical BSIS card mails in 2–4 weeks). Classes fill fast. Take the first step — we'll handle the rest.
