Continuing Education Classes
Once you have your guard card, BSIS requires 32 hours of continuing education: 16 hours within 30 days of the date your registration card is issued, and another 16 hours within 6 months. This bundle covers all 32 hours in one purchase, so you can take care of the whole requirement at once.
This training is not optional. These 32 hours are what keep your guard card registration in good standing with BSIS. Your card is valid for two years, and you must be current on your training to renew it.
Here’s what you get
