Given Covid-19 challenges, many people can’t be away from their children doing online-person schooling. Training at home gives parents the flexibility to complete state-required training for a guard card without the hassle of attending in-person training. Guard companies also report that some of their participants don’t even show up for the first day of training, or they don’t return after lunch, or they finish the course and go work for another company. ## Solutions Defencify works toward solving these problems by providing **affordable, 100% online** security guard training. We offer **budget-friendly** pricing for individual courses as well as convenient monthly subscription rates, making calculating cost savings a cinch. In addition, while most providers report an average program completion rate of 75%, Defencify’s average course completion for new security guards is **92%**. This is because our training concepts are presented in **short, stimulating bursts** so that information is digested and remembered easily. **Interactive, engaging activities** help make our courses fun and our gaming-approach allow students to test their knowledge. Throughout our modules, students are also **awarded** for completing tasks with badges and medals. ## Final Thoughts Defencify courses promote the growth of your hiring pool by **offering flexibility** to job seekers who have difficulty attending an in-person class. Employees can sharpen their skills while on the job site thereby enhancing work performance and improving employee retention, not to mention keeping your clients happy.
