The courses was interesting and very easy to interpret and learn with the help of the instructor. She has alot of insight with all subjects concerning the courses and she helps every person with different learning styles.

Why must I complete E, D and C to work as a Security Officer?

This is a decision that PSIRA made in 2017, it is required to do all three courses as PSIRA has not released new course material that combines these 3 courses.

How long does the training take?

Each Grade takes one week to complete.

After completing the course can I immediately work as a Security Officer?

No, you must first register with PSIRA directly using the Mail Number provided to you after the Course reports are submitted.

How long before I get my PSIRA Registration?

After TSASA submits the course report it takes 2 – 3 weeks for processing after which the learner needs to go to the nearest PSIRA branch and follow the application process.
