I.G.S Academy

Security is a serious issue! And very few places treat this issue as seriously as IGS Academy. Fully accredited by Emploi-Quebec and supported by years of experience in qualifying security personnel for today's market demands, IGS Academy uses the finest techniques and best instructors to produce a breed of security officer unlike any other.

By the time a candidate graduates with an IGS Academy diploma to his or her name, he or she will have understood what it takes to protect a client's premises and personnel, and will be qualified to do so unconditionally.

IGS Academy recruits candidates based on their ability to understand the importance of security in a hectically paced environment, their initiative, personality, appearance, the critical ability to interact with the public in a most reassuring manner and the ability to manage emergencies and even perilous situations.

All candidates must undergo a rigorous selection process before being allowed to attend the Intensive Security Officer Course. Inexpensive, intensive and market driven, the Intensive Security Officer Course provides training in all aspects of security, including:

  • legal matters and judicial duties
  • reporting and communications
  • protection
  • officer's code of conduct
  • public psychology
  • emergency situations
  • customer service

The curriculum also includes technical training in access, communication, control and alarm systems, and observation systems and techniques.
Furthermore, every graduate must successfully pass a CSST-accredited rescuer course (CPR, trauma, etc…), a police baton handling lesson and a firearms training session in order to qualify as an IGS Academy-trained officer.

IGS Academy boasts a 95% placement rate in a market made up of Montreal's most significant and demanding clientele.

IGS Academy also offers a Junior Officer Curriculum that will provide the basic qualifications to successful candidates for the rank of Sergeant and Lieutenant anywhere in the industry.

In addition, IGS Academy offers an exclusive and rigorous but rewarding VIP Protection Officer Program destined for experienced officers and quick learners in whose hands we entrust the safety of an elite clientele.

Candidates with specific skills, abilities and talents can also sign up for the K-9 Officer Training Program, in which they will learn to work with specially trained dogs to detect narcotics and explosives and to prevent serious crimes.

Individuals who wish to perfect their unarmed combat and restraint skills can also benefit from a variety of courses in unarmed combat, police baton handling and handcuffing, while candidates wishing to concentrate on the field of Intelligence can explore the field of surveillance, investigative tools and techniques and much more.
