The instruction takes place at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and comprises at least 40 hours of instruction, in which you must be present without absenteeism. Among other things, you will learn about your legal rights and obligations as a security guard and techniques for dealing with people in conflict situations.
The instruction is in German, so you must have at least B1 level language skills.
After the instruction, you have to answer written and oral comprehension questions about the content in order to receive the certificate. With the certificate you will also be entered in the guard register.
In order to open a security company or work in certain areas, such as refugee accommodation, in discotheques or other public places, you must pass the more extensive security examination.
If you have a degree in a relevant training occupation, for example as a specialist for protection and security, you do not have to provide additional proof of the training.
