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.

Working as a private guard in India

● Full coverage
About this card
PSARA is a national Act. Each State licenses agencies and makes its own rules on the Central Model Rules, 2020, so details can differ in your State. The May 2026 changes to the Act are included. Checked on 28 October 2026.
What you must do
  1. You work through a PSARA-licensed private security agency. The licence is the agency's, not yours.
  2. The agency may employ you only if you are a citizen of India, at least 18 and under 65, pass a character and antecedents check, have completed the prescribed training, and meet the physical standards.
  3. A conviction, or dismissal for misconduct from the armed forces, police, government service or a security agency, bars you from work as a guard or supervisor.
  4. Training comes first: at least 100 hours in the classroom and 60 in the field, over at least 20 working days (ex-servicemen and former police: 40 and 16 hours, over at least 7 working days). A training institute gives the certificate.
  5. Carry the photo identity card your agency gives you. Wear it above the waist on duty, show it when the Controlling Authority asks, and give it back when you leave.
  6. Never wear a police or armed-forces uniform, or anything that looks like one. It is an offence for you and for the agency owner.
  7. Keep work information to yourself unless your employer or the law says otherwise. If you see a breach of the law on duty, tell your superior.
  8. Each State makes its own rules on the national model, so details can differ. Ask your agency, or check your State's Controlling Authority, for the rules that apply to you.

Common questions

Do I have to finish Part 1 first?
It is recommended, not required. Part 2 builds on the basics in Part 1 and does not repeat them.
Will this course teach me first aid?
It explains the main first-aid steps a guard may need, checked against current first-aid guidelines. Reading is not the same as practice: do a hands-on first-aid course with a qualified trainer as well.
Does it make me a fire warden?
No. It teaches fire prevention, raising the alarm, choosing the right extinguisher and helping with an evacuation. Your site's fire plan and its trained wardens lead on the day.
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.
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.
Can I read the lessons in Hindi?
Yes. In the India edition you can switch a lesson to Hindi. The Hindi text is machine translated and checked by an AI reviewer, not yet by a human reviewer, so the English original is always one tap away.
Who sells the course, and how is tax handled?
In the India edition the seller is VSVSV (Vidhi Sangat Vidyut Saksya Vinaya) Tech Private Limited. Prices include GST and you get a GST tax invoice.
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.
