Common questions

Do I need any experience to start?
No. Part 1 is written for people who are new to the job or have only just started. The sentences are short and every new word is explained.
Is this the training the law requires before I can work as a guard?
No. In many countries the law sets its own training for security staff, given by approved institutes or trainers. In India, PSARA rules require classroom and field training at a recognised institute; Australian states set their own licence training. This course helps you learn and revise. It does not replace that training and is not a licence.
Can I study on a basic phone?
Yes. Lessons are text first and open in any phone browser. There is no app to install, and a lesson uses little data.
What comes after Part 1?
Part 2 (perimeter, emergency and fire) and Part 3 (access control, law and conduct). Where the edition offers it, you can buy all three parts together for less.
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 Global 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.
