A School With A Unique Approach

A School With A Unique Approach

Joseph Security simplifies the process of becoming licensed in New York State. Our unique approach is aimed at helping students balancing work and family. One of the things we have done is breaking up the tradition of taking the 8-hour course in one session. Students can either take the 8-hour course or 2 four hour sessions. This option is available to both in-service guards looking to recertify as well as first-time students. For new guards, we offer assistance with New York State filing and paperwork.
