Security Guard Curriculum Crosswalk

For trainers:

The curriculum crosswalk is a guide for trainers who will be teaching the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services’ Security Guard Curriculum.

The crosswalk is designed to help you align some key learning outcomes of the curriculum with some key information and skills of the Security Guard profession that may be tested by the ministry.

In the curriculum you will also find some detailed descriptions of tasks that students may be expected to be able to do.
