Prerequisites Check Your Illegibility

Before you start searching for jobs as a security guard, it is important to check your eligibility. If you have any criminal convictions, you will not be granted a NSW Security Licence.

Also, the NSW Police Force and most employers will carry out background checks and although not all criminal charges will rule you out of all security guard jobs, there are certain offenses that will prohibit you from getting your security licence.

If you have a criminal conviction and are not sure if you still qualify for a security licence, call Multisec Training on 1300 891 503 to discuss.
