Defencify helps **slash the costs** of training by offering online education rather than traditional, in-person security guard training.

## Avoid the Costs and Hassle of In-Person Training:

- Time and cost finding and hiring qualified trainers
- Expensive facilities and upkeep, catering food, training materials, and sometimes trainee travel reimbursement
- COVID-19 requires social distancing space and regular desensitization, increasing costs and staff time
- Scheduling difficulties and weather, all of which take staff resources to manage

In other words, classroom training comes with a lot of **upfront and ongoing costs**.

Defencify **avoids all of these expenses** by providing 100% online security guard training.

## Fast Training & Automatic Certification

With Defencify, students can train on their own schedule, in their own home. This means students can take a course and **be certified quickly**. Upon successful course completion, students are**automatically emailed** their certification, ready to send off their application and become a security officer.

With our online training, we speed up the process vs. in-person courses. Depending on state requirements, certain courses can be completed in **as little as 8 hours**, enabling students to complete a course and receive their certification **that same day**. This is a great option during the holiday season when security guard companies need to **hire officers quickly.**

## Reliable Records

Defencify’s system-generated notifications keep you up-to-date on your officers' progress. Training records are stored on the cloud and are accessible 24/7, making it **easy to stay compliant** with your state and company’s requirements.

## Continuing Education Courses

Defencify also offers [continuing education](https://defencifytraining.com/collections/training-on-demand) courses. This helps security guards to be constantly learning and **up-to-date** on the latest security protocols. We offer courses such as *Legal Responsibilities and Use of Force*, *Responding To and Documenting Critical Events*, and more.

## Affordable Pricing

Defencify offers the highest-quality, online security guard training available at an affordable rate, ranging from only $49 - $99 per course for our basic security guard training. We offer **company discounts** and **monthly subscription options**.
