What this means where you work
The skills are the same everywhere. The legal and licensing rules differ by country, so each course carries a country card that follows your edition.

Common questions
Do I have to study every module?
No. Pick the modules for the site you guard. All of them are included in the course, so you can add more later.
Does this course end with a Record of Completion?
No. Site Skills has a short Learning Check after each module but no final assessment, so it does not issue a Record of Completion. Records come from the Guard — Land, Supervisor — Land and Manager — Land courses and the airport and port courses.
Does the armed-posts module teach weapon handling?
No. It appears only in the India edition and explains the legal limits and weapon-control rules at an armed post. It is knowledge only. It does not teach handling a weapon and is not arms training or a licence.
Is the close-protection module close-protection training?
No. It gives supervisors the basic ideas and limits so they can plan and brief. Close-protection work needs its own specialist training.
Is this an official licence or certification?
No. Guarding.Tech is a private training provider. A course builds knowledge and readiness and ends with a Record of Completion. It is not a licence, a regulator's certificate or an accreditation, and it is not endorsed by any government agency.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. The first lesson of each course is open to read, with no sign-up.
How do I get a Record of Completion?
Finish the lessons, then pass the course’s final assessment with 70% or more. Your Record carries a number and a QR code that anyone can check on the verify page. It shows only your name (or initials), the course, the date and its status.
How long do I keep access?
Paid access lasts 12 months from the day you buy. You can study at your own pace and come back to any lesson during that time. Your Record of Completion stays verifiable after access ends.
Who sells the course, and how is tax handled?
In the Australia edition the seller is Vanaranya LLC. Tax, where it applies, is calculated at checkout from your billing country.
Can I buy seats for my team?
Yes. Agencies and sites can buy seats for their guards, assign courses and see progress and results. Larger teams get a discount. See For organisations.
