In 2018, We Know Training recognized the gap in security guard training in Canada.
While demand for private security training was on the rise, the technology and service was not delivering. Companies and prospective security guards needed trustworthy, high-quality training and modern, sophisticated technology. They needed support from end-to-end.
That’s when Canadian Academy of Guard Training was born.
We Know Training acquired Law Enforcement and Security Training Academy of Canada, founded by the late William Allan Dryburgh — a Canadian authority in security guard training. Dryburgh authored the foundational security guard curriculum adopted across provinces. Since 2007, his courses have been the template for training security service workers to get licensed. Dryburgh’s work to advance the professionalism of security services has elevated the national industry.
Canadian Academy of Guard Training brings the best of security guard training expertise together with the leading-edge technology and customer support for which We Know Training and Danatec are known.
The Canadian Academy of Guard Training is on a mission to change the way security guard training is delivered.
