8 & 16 Hour Security Guard Training Package NYC
Bundle the New York State 8-Hour Pre-Assignment and 16-Hour On-the-Job Training courses in one registration. This package is designed for people pursuing or maintaining an unarmed New York security guard registration.
The package combines the two required training courses, but it does not include the NYS security guard application, fingerprinting or background-check fees. For the full licensing pathway, use our Security Guard Licensing Program.
What is the 8 & 16 Hour Security Guard Training Package?
It is a bundled registration for the NYS 8-Hour Pre-Assignment course and the 16-Hour On-the-Job Training course. The 8-hour course is the initial training step. The 16-hour OJT is a separate requirement associated with employment and must be completed according to the NYS security-guard training timeline.
Two Courses, One Package
Buying both courses together can simplify registration, but it does not change the required order or timing of the courses.
The initial security guard training course taken before applying for a New York State security guard registration.
Complete the required state application and fingerprint/background-check steps separately unless you choose Tribune's full licensing package.
The 16-Hour On-the-Job Training course is a separate training requirement tied to security-guard employment and must be completed within the applicable NYS timeframe.
Package vs. Full Licensing Program
Includes the two training courses only: 8-Hour Pre-Assignment and 16-Hour OJT.
NYS application charges, fingerprinting/background-check fees and other state licensing costs are separate.

8 & 16 Hour Security Guard Package FAQ
Does this package include my NYS security guard license?
No. This page bundles the two training courses. The NYS application, fingerprinting and background-check process are separate.
Do I take the 8-hour and 16-hour courses back-to-back?
Not necessarily. Purchasing them together does not change the NYS training sequence. The 8-hour course is the initial course, while the 16-hour OJT is tied to employment and its applicable completion timeline.
Can I take the package online?
The live schedule currently includes both standard and online package events. Use the registration button to see the delivery options attached to upcoming dates.
What if I already completed the 8-hour course?
If your 8-Hour Pre-Assignment training is already complete, register for the 16-Hour OJT separately rather than purchasing both courses again.
