PSISA Exam Preparation Course
This course consists of an online self study program followed by an in-class program. After successful completion, the student will qualify to apply to write the PSISA exam. Both the course and the exam must be successfully completed in order to obtain a license to operate as a security professional in the Province of Ontario.
The online program should take an average of 7-10 days to complete. This is designed as a precursor to the in-class portion, which will focus on successful field application of the basic elements learned.
Throughout the online portion, you are encouraged to communicate "virtually" with your instructor for any questions you may have. You are also encouraged to participate in online discussion forums with the other participants concerning matters of interest. Class sizes are limited; each class will begin the on-line portion at the same time. The online participants will then proceed to the in-class portion as a group.
For the online portion, your grades will be provided to the instructor following participation in each quiz. Quizzes may be attempted more than once, with results forming a portion of your overall grading. There is one quiz per section, followed by a final exam on the overall course material.
Upon successful completion of the both the online and in-class program, all students must sign a Consent and Release of Liability form. The student will then be registered with the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services and will be able to write the Ministry exam. The student must register for the exam themselves; this is done through a local driver examination centre. The fee for this exam is $ 60.00. For further information about test delivery and how to register please visit Serco’s website.
All students are also responsible to obtain Emergency First Aid and CPR (Level C) Certification. These certificates, along with the pass receipt from the exam and a completed Consent and Release Form, will be required to be provided with your security license application.
