An Emphasis on Training
AlliedBarton's commitment to employee training and education is second to none in the security industry. One look at our unique career development and education assistance program and it's obvious why AlliedBarton has been selected as one of Training magazine's top companies for training excellence three years in a row. We have partnered with the University of Phoenix and Colorado Technical University - two accredited institutions to award college credit and discounts to AlliedBarton students who are majoring in criminal justice and other security related degrees for completion of many of our advanced training programs.
The following is a brief overview of the AlliedBarton Academy curriculum:
Security Officer Basic Course (SOBC)

The on-the-job training process is site-specific and customized according to the complexity of the worksite.

On-the-job training ranges from basic 8- to 16-hour packages to advanced programs of 40 to 120 hours.
