California PSO Hybrid 2025 | Online Part 1

Proprietary Security Officer (PSO). This is the first approved training course available for the State of California

**The California PSO Hybrid Online Training Part 1** allows for flexible delivery of what **Nightclub Security Consultants** considers the core and fundamental concepts and ideas for the hospitality security guard. The information presented in the **Part 1** of the Hybrid Course is well suited to be delivered by an online method. The student/participant can start and stop at any time and complete the online portion at his or her own pace. The course is completely video based with short quizzes that follow each lesson to make sure the participant is learning the material. Once you complete the online portion – **Part 1**, you will need to attend **Part 2**, the live in-person event associated with the program you are participating in. The nightclub security industry is rapidly changing across the country. States and municipalities are seeking other, non-policing, solutions to the increasing violence associated bars, clubs and other liquor licensed venues. One proven solution is the requirement of job specific training for the in-house security guard or bouncer. As of January 1, 2011, the State of California mandates that all In House Guards or “Bouncers” complete 16 hours of job specific training as part of their licensing process. Our company has the first approved training course available for the State of California and now has it available online. Our approved training program is modeled after our long running certification program; HOST Security Training. This program was 12 hours long and has been taught to thousands of hospitality employees nationwide. The new licensing curriculum is exactly the same with only two additions. The first addition is a training section on Powers to Arrest and Citizen's Detention. The second addition covers a rising concern around the globe, Terrorism Awareness in the hospitality industry. The state course requires 16 hours total and with our quizzes, downloadable reading material, photos, videos and final test, we meet that requirement with ease.
