Liberty Security Training Institute: Where There is Such a Thing as a Free Lunch

Popular wisdom has it that there's no such thing as a free lunch - meaning there's always a catch, but Liberty Security Training Institute is the exception to the rule.  Liberty Security Training Institute may be New York's newest security guard training school, conveniently located one block from Penn Station at 352 7th Avenue, Suite 803, New York, NY 10001, but their instructors are among the most experienced in the industry, and they offer a full range of training programs for security guards and fire guards.  New York State requires anyone applying for a security guard registration card to have taken an 8 hour pre-assignment security training course, to be followed by a 16 hour in-service training program within 90 days of securing employment as a security guard.  At Liberty Security Training Institute, all of the material required by NYS is covered, plus training on how to use the latest security technology on the job site.  As if all that wasn't enough, Liberty Security Training Institute is running a spring special discount pricing program to save students money, AND they throw in a free lunch on the day of training.

In a world of ever-changing technology and economic factors, a career as a security guard has a future.  It cannot be outsourced overseas and while advancing technology can be used to enhance security, it is  a long way from ever being able to replace the human factor for appropriate decision making and response, so a well-trained security guard with an understanding of security technology will be in demand for many years to come.  Liberty Security Training Institute works closely with New York's leaders in the field of security, so they always have their finger on the pulse of industry requirements and demands.  To that end, they offer a wide range of training courses for unarmed security guards, armed security guards and bodyguards, fire guards, and even CPR certification.  Security guards who go above and beyond the basic requirements of the state with regard to training show initiative and are more likely to be hired, due to their broader skill set.  Liberty makes it easy by being a one-stop educational and training resource for the security industry.

Many security guard training schools offer the basics and that's where their services begin and end, but Liberty Security Training Institute works with ever student to make the experience of becoming a licensed security guard as hassle-free as possible.  They work with the students in submitting their state applications, getting through the fingerprinting process, preparing a resume and applying for jobs.  They even coach them on the proper way to conduct oneself on an interview.  Once a student at LSTI becomes a licensed security guard, they receive annual reminders to sign up for their NYS required 8 hour in-service security guard training to make sure that their license doesn't lapse due to non-compliance.
