To become a security guard in Queensland, you will need to complete the required nationally recognised security training and obtain the appropriate security provider licence through the Queensland Office of Fair Trading (OFT). Security officers are placed in positions of responsibility and trust, so honesty, integrity, reliability, good communication skills and a strong work ethic are important qualities for anyone considering a career in the industry. Prospective students should also consider whether they meet OFT licensing and suitability requirements, as certain criminal convictions and disqualifying offences may affect eligibility for a security licence.

BARS Training Australia (RTO 32061) provides nationally recognised security training supported by seven highly qualified facilitators with more than 250 years of combined experience across security, policing, defence, training and related industries. Students have access to an established support structure providing learning assistance, practical guidance and experienced industry support throughout their training. Our support also extends beyond completing the course.

BARS Training Australia provides employment assistance and practical guidance to help students understand the process of moving from training to licensing and into employment within the Queensland security industry. Our aim is to prepare students not simply to obtain a qualification, but to become capable, professional and employable security officers. Current Queensland licensing and eligibility requirements are available from the Queensland Office of Fair Trading at: (view here).
