CASH IN TRANSIT OFFICERS AND ARMED GUARDS
You can undertake a Cash in Transit or an Armed guard course separately or you can choose to do them together to achieve both a 1C and 1F Security Licence categories.
Most employers of armed security guards, operate Cash in Transit services, therefore it would be beneficial to complete the Cash in Transit (1C Security Licence) and Armed Guard (1F Security Licence).
In some instances, companies may insist that their employees hold a full Certificate III in Security Operations (CPPSEC31318).
It is essential that you make enquiries with potential employers before you decide upon which course you undertake.

The minimum age requirement for a security license is 18, though training can commence beforehand.
IN CLASS ASSESSMENT
Essentially, the trainee will be assessed during classroom time. Assessments will consist of answering questions both orally and in written, practical demonstrations where a trainee can show the assessor their skills; these demonstrations are based either on scenarios or standard operating procedures.
