Training

   Our Training School - Top Gun Security Training Academy - offers a number of comprehensive private investigative and security officer training programs.  These range from State certification courses and examinations to general continuing education courses.

   We do not set a time limit on the course because we allow each individual student to take his or her time to comprehend and review the material as necessary. Studies continue until a student believes that they are ready to take the final written examination. A word of
caution. The final written examination is extremely difficult and diplomas are awarded only to students who obtain at least a 90% or above grade. 80% or below is considered failure.
