NSW Class 1F Armed Guard

The NSW Class 1F Armed Guard course provides the training required to perform armed security duties in New South Wales. This SLED-approved course equips students with the skills and knowledge to safely and responsibly handle firearms while working in the security industry.

This course delivers a Statement of Attainment for 3 units of the CPP31318 Certificate III in Security Operations and supports your application to add the Class 1F subclass to your NSW security licence.

Note: Employed armed security guards in NSW must also complete, to the satisfaction of the Commissioner, an approved firearms safety test. Asset College does not currently offer these firearms safety tests in NSW — please enquire with SLED for approved providers.

This training supports your application for the NSW Class 1F Armed Guard licence subclass through SLED.
