Valley Guard Training

Alan and his team are fantastic. Whether you are new to security or a veteran doing your qualifications this is the place to go. I come down from Santa Barbara just because this place is great and make things simple.

Very please with the staff, their diligence and professionalism was second to none. I highly recommend this facility and the prices are very competitive. Thank you for a great experience will definitely return…

This was a great course, i paid $ 99.00 for the online bundle which I would recommend. Once I completed all the modules I received all my certifications and was hired by two security firms… I’ll be going for my gun permit soon. Thanks Valley Guard card you guys made the process easy.

It’s a bit pricey. The last time I got my guard card training they made watch the video but not all of it. Anyways the people are friendly and I was in the area. It’s too far for me. I would have liked to try the shooting range. Good place to go get your guard card, and if anything happens make sure to give them a call because they will try and fix it for you. If not you can always Unilocal

Alan and the crew here at Valley Guard Training absolutely know the importance of quality customer service. Not satisfied? They won’t rest until you are! Feel great about the service? Be sure to thank them! Need a day at the range, a new firearm, a Guard Card or just some pointers on shootin’? The good people here will absolutely take care of you. I purchased Guard Card training and was unsatisfied because there were some mishaps during the application process. Alan personally emailed and helped me every step of the way. He even refunded my money and welcomed me to continue my training anyway! I am ecstatic and at a loss for words. While initially frustrated, I am ultimately glad that I chose Valley Guard.

This course was GREAT and most of it I completed on my cell phone! I purchased the $ 99 all encompassing course to just knock it out. In 26 hours, I completed the 8 hour training, had my live scan done the next day, came home, completed the on line application with the state, and then 10 days later had the 32 hours of additional training completed after calling and learning that I could get a ‘head start’ on the required training after the guard card arrives. 2 days after the 32 hours were completed, my guard card arrived in the mail…14 days after I signed up! INCREDIBLE!
My inspiration to even get a guard card was event staffing (No guard card required… grandfathered in from the 2013 season) for Qualcomm Charger games through Elite. I asked one of my colleagues, a security guard, if getting a guard card was worth it and how long did it take to pay off the cost of getting the card. He said ONE DAY of working. He worked a 23 hour shift (I don’t recommend it…) and made @$ 500. 6.5 hours at a Chargers foot ball game, travel time to downtown San Diego, then 16.5 hours at a Paul McCartney concert (prep, concert, and tear down). Not that I would work those kind of hours, but the fact it could be done, was enough to get me to start the process.
$ 99 40 hour course through Valley Guard Training
$ 67 Live Scan Fee
$ 51 On line application fee
$ 217 total
For those on a budget, just start with the $ 32 8 hour required class, and when you can, get your live scan done (The price can vary… I paid $ 67), and then if you have to wait to save up $ 51 for the on line application, do what you gotta do. You will then have to pay $ 99 for the remaining 32 hours, but at least you can start training with a limited budget. Once you are a guard, there are so many jobs out there!
Try to land «City of _​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​» contracts. The City of San Diego pays a ‘living wage’ of $ 14.72 (2014) when event staff and guards work at Qualcomm Stadium (Football and sometimes soccer games) and Petco Park (Padres baseball games). Last year, it was $ 14.52, so each year you can get a raise!
If you have a clean record (Even if you don’t, be prepared to explain minor infractions and wait up to 4 months…), get a guard card if you need more money! I was told 45 days MINIMUM to get my guard card. I had it in 14 DAYS!
Oh, and the end of chapter exams give you hints to select the correct answer, so everyone passes!
If $ 500 can be made in one day with $ 217 and 2 weeks waiting time, there is money waiting for you to be made and solve your financial worries! AND, Valley Guard Training even has a «Job Hunter Bonuses» section, complete with tips and secrets to landing a good guard job AND resume samples (The formats look good too!).
I have already referred one event staff worker to Valley Guard Training. There will be more referrals your way!

Just completed training for my CA Guard Card. The staff made the process easy. Very knowledgeable and helpful. They outlined the costs, process, forms, training, and testing. Now I’m licensed and ready to make some extra cash.
I will be back to obtain my Firearm License.

I can’t believe no one has written a review about this place yet. Amazing service. I walked in and got a guard card that day. As I was studying for the test I can hear the guys in sales giving extra amazing service to there customers. They were really passionate and gave clear and concise information. As far as the class, it was very good and very exciting. They also have a firing range. Great job Valley Guard. you are awesome.
