What is the pass mark for the Saskatchewan security guard exam?

75%. The Registrar for Private Investigators and Security Guards administers the exam after the approved training course.

How many questions are on the Saskatchewan exam?

Saskatchewan's public pages give the 75% standard but not the number of questions or a time limit. The mock exam here uses 50 questions with a 75% pass line, so treat its length as practice only.

Can I work before I finish the course?

Your employer can apply for a temporary security guard licence (Form C) for you until you complete the course.

Does my licence move with me if I change employers?

No. A Saskatchewan licence is valid only for the business it was issued for, so your new employer must apply for a licence for you.

I am licensed in another province. Can I work in Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan recognizes valid licences from other provinces and territories, but you may have to pass the Saskatchewan exam and meet the 75% standard.
