State Required Since 2024 — No Exceptions
Duration: Approximately 4 hours | Who it's for: All new California security guard applicants — required by state law, no exceptions
In 2024, California passed AB2880 — a new law that added mandatory training requirements for all security guard applicants. Without completing this course, BSIS will not approve your guard card application. It doesn't matter if you're a first-time applicant or switching careers — the law applies to everyone. At SOTC, we've integrated this course into our training schedule so you can get it done quickly and move forward with your career.
Yes — as of 2024, it is mandatory under California law. BSIS will not process your guard card application without a valid AB2880 completion certificate. There are no waivers and no grandfathering for existing applicants who haven't completed it yet.
Absolutely — and we recommend it. Our guard card packages include both courses so you complete everything in sequence without scheduling gaps. Taking them together is the fastest way from zero to a fully submitted BSIS application.
