Service Description
A permit for the security business will only be issued if you have taken part in an IHK training course on the regulations and obligations necessary for the exercise of the trade. This comprises at least 40 hours of instruction, during which you must be present without absences. Among other things, you will be taught your legal rights and obligations as a security guard as well as techniques for dealing with people in conflict situations. Your knowledge will be tested by oral and written questions. With the certificate, you will also be entered in the security guard register.
This training requirement applies to security companies and security guards. In order to open a security company or to work in certain areas, such as refugee accommodation, as store detectives, in discotheques or for patrols in other public places, it is not sufficient to undergo training, for which you must pass the more extensive examination of expertise for the security industry.
