Was Sie vor der Prüfung wissen sollten

Security licences are issued by each state and territory, not by the federal government. For example, Victoria Police's Licensing and Regulation Division licenses guards in Victoria, and the Office of Fair Trading licenses them in Queensland.
Victoria and Queensland list the Certificate II in Security Operations (CPP20218) as the training for unarmed guards and crowd controllers. Victoria describes it as a 130-hour course.
The Certificate II is made up of 13 security units, from communication and legal requirements to patrols, screening, access control, crowd behaviour, intoxicated persons, removals and escorts. Queensland also requires the first aid unit HLTAID011 Provide first aid.
Training must be done with a registered training organisation (RTO). Students on a student visa must use a provider registered on CRICOS.
In New South Wales, applicants also complete a SLED Pre-Enrolment Assessment and the NSW Security Licence Course through an approved organisation.
Western Australia adds a written Security Competency Test after the Certificate II: 45 minutes, with 30 of 40 marks (75%) needed to pass.
Under the model WHS laws, workers must take reasonable care for their own health and safety and comply with reasonable instructions.
In an emergency, call Triple Zero (000). The operator will ask if you need police, fire or ambulance.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Is there a national security guard exam in Australia?

No. Training is competency-based: your registered training organisation assesses each unit of the Certificate II with knowledge tests and practical tasks. Some states add their own steps, such as Western Australia's written Security Competency Test.

How many questions are on the Certificate II knowledge test?

There is no fixed national format. Each training organisation writes its own assessments. The mock exam here uses 50 questions with an 80% target as practice, not as an official format.

Which units are in the Certificate II in Security Operations?

Queensland lists 13 security units, CPPSEC2101 to CPPSEC2113, covering communication, legal requirements, WHS and emergencies, risk assessment, client service, defensive techniques, patrols, screening, access control, crowd behaviour, intoxicated persons, removals and escorts, plus first aid.

Can I get a security licence that works in every state?

Each state issues its own licence. Most states can recognise an equivalent interstate licence, but you apply to the regulator in the state where you want to work.

How old do I need to be to get a security licence?

Victoria and Queensland both require applicants to be 18 or older. Check your own state's regulator for its full eligibility rules.

Which practice test should I take?

Start here for the shared Certificate II knowledge, then take your state's test for its own licensing law, regulator and licence classes.
